Troubles pushed aside
Not meant to be snide
The greater good
The oldest could
Feelings matter, but so do others
It's not lonely if you're not alone
Trying to take the pressures
When you don't know the measures
The weight of it all
Makes you feel small
When you should be out and about
When
you
should
be
living
life
Time that can't be bought back
No escape
From
responsibilities you never wanted
responsibilities bestowed upon you
Duty-bound until you found
A way out
A way, far away
Far away from what you know
Just
Far away
Where you stay
Far away from what you know
Far away from home
You moved on
Not because...you wanted to
But because...you had to
Though
In the end
Things turned out well
You still had that feeling
You missed out
You still had that feeling
You missed out
On developing yourself
Before taking on
Someone else
But
Sometimes
Life doesn't run smoothly
