------Leaving Early------
I sit inside the bubble of life yet so I think about the purpose and reason Is inside the shell a better life or outside perhaps more pleasing I accept the rules and follow the ways of things I cannot alter It seems so hard to stay content and so very easy to falter Are the boundaries of my thoughts an inescapable trap With the only chance for breaking out to suffer a mental snap If outside the bubble and looking in would I be glad I was free If I weren't bound by invisible walls what would my limits be If the truth of life were clearly known is the only exit death's door And the time I'm waiting for it to occur wasted by not leaving before.R.
