Goodbye or Hello?



I don't know who I am,
Nor where I want to be.
I don't know where I'm going,
Or where my roads will lead.

I just don't know anymore,
Why I choose to fight.
Instead of just giving up,
In this thing that we call life.

But I do know however,
The life that I don't want.
This life of loneliness and pain,
I have finally had enough.

It's easier to leave,
To turn my back and run.
Its easier than facing the pain,
It's over now, it's done.

I just want to be happy,
And to get rid of all this strife.
So I'm letting go of the emptiness,
And I'm sorting out my life.
