Promises

Why are promises sometimes broken – cruel words spoken

People not understanding or becoming too demanding,

making me feel like I want to get away, maybe only for

a day – somewhere far from strain, letting the pain drift

in vain, taking my cares, leading me away from all the

stares. Just being by myself in a place so alone – even

better than staying at home and away from promises

being broken, and where cruel words are no longer spoken

but all I really want to do is feel kind. So, please leave me

alone – that’s if you do not mind!
