Why Leave?
by Mike

Why can't you leave this place?
The walls are falling apart.
And yet you sit
in the middle of filth---
isn't this a burden on your heart?

Why can't you see how happiness can be?
You have your memories---
but it is time to move on,
to make a new world,
to forget your worries...

Why are you content?
You know all your life you've spent---
in a land of forgotten dreams.
I only wish you could escape,
and find the happiness that we have sent...
