My heart and soul, knew it was finally time to leave

Enough of the terrible days, with tears on my sleeve

Saving and stashing, bits of money tucked secretly away

Waiting for the calendar of freedom, to come my way

With the post office’s help, I sent boxes of my life home

Little by little, the fear was leaving me as he did roam

I knew that I was taking, a huge gamble leaving that place

It has been many a year, since there has been a smile on my face

Now the day has come, for tickets and paper goodbyes no kiss or smile

I am flying away from my past, and going toward my future for a while
