Tears Of Sadness

The screams
The cries
The wails
The sadness

Why am I living in this madness?
I want to be left alone
Away from people
Away from home

Making my own path as I go,
I still remember the arguing nights
The tears and fights
But now I’m gone
I will be strong

I will stand tall and walk alone
Leaving that life behind
