FREEDOM

The time has come to move along,
And leave it all behind,
While memories still linger on
In the recesses of my mind.

I cannot stay another day
Without love resting in my heart.
I bid farewell to those who care,
For it is now I must depart.

The bitterness of them still floats
Like whispers lost in time;
But I'm no captive to these thoughts,
For I have mountains still to climb.
