i left. it was all up to chance. i packaged hope in a vessel. escaped before i completely lost it all - my wits and my self respect. my courage was shrouded in doubt. my youth abandoned. like raindrops my tears fell onto paper everynight. i had no other option but to leave it all behind. she left me half hearted. the reason this long journey takes place. yearning to find the other piece. wanting to feel whole. it started pouring in florida the day that i left. a sign you all are going to miss me there (reciprocated). but this was for me. i found faith: in the unknown. in myself. this time i will be stronger. this chapter is about new beginnings. and im ready to turn the page.
