The Yearning To Leave But Never Leaving

I remember when I was younger I was so filled with hunger In my life I felt something missing In my heart I was always wishing That tomorrow I could find A way to leave this place behind But no matter how hard I'd try I'd always end up asking why Why can't I break away To find myself a better day But those answers were never found That's why I'm still around The place I wanted most to leave Has a hold on me you won't believe So I guess this where I'll stay Until I reach my dying day What I learned along the way While some may leave, most will stay Sometimes you must remain strong To live and die where you were born The attraction to leave is always there You feel you're ready to go anywhere But deep in your heart the commitment is strong Yet you know you're living right where you belong 1-28-20/RjH
