What’s happening?<\/div>\n
I want to leave.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Why can’t I just go for it?<\/div>\n
I want to just leave.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I want to be gone,<\/p>\n

being responsible for everything…<\/p>\n

Whether it is my fault or not!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I just want to live already!<\/p>\n

I want to feel ALIVE!<\/p>\n

I want to go to concerts,<\/p>\n

Go take a hike on one of the eight wonders of the world,<\/p>\n

Walk on the hills of the highest mountain<\/p>\n

Scream as loud as I can!<\/p>\n

Have a great time with friends,<\/p>\n

Meet someone I can love,<\/p>\n

Meet someone who can love me right.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have my story to tell,<\/p>\n

With many have twists and turns<\/p>\n

but that’s the fun part of it I believe.<\/p>\n

And even though it may turn out to be a large mess,<\/p>\n

I know that it would be worth everything:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the travel,<\/p>\n

the lust,<\/p>\n

the fun,<\/p>\n

the pain of love,<\/p>\n

the education,<\/p>\n

the hatred,<\/p>\n

the flirtations,<\/p>\n

the stressed out finals week,<\/p>\n

the music,<\/p>\n

the romance,<\/p>\n

the anger,<\/p>\n

the crazy deadlines,<\/p>\n

the wondrous words that I write about the journey of my life<\/p>\n

Is it selfish of me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don’t know.<\/p>\n

I have responsibilities:<\/p>\n

I have younger siblings,<\/p>\n

I have a mother who needs me,<\/p>\n

why does it have to be this way?<\/p>\n

I feel like I am a financial burden.<\/p>\n

I feel like I should just earn it all on my own.<\/p>\n

I feel like this is done.<\/p>\n
