~*World of Anguish*~

Here I am, Home again,
In my pensive world of heartbreak and sorrow,
Where happiness and complacency cease to exist,
Where sweethearts and tender souls were never introduced,

Why do I stay in this place?
If it may end at my will and by my hand, then why do I continue stay?
If I may leave without a trace, then why am I still here?

I stay for fear of what is to come,
Fear of where this exodus will bring me,

I stay for fear of physical pain,
In fear of what inevitable destiny will come of me,

I stay for my few loved ones,
Fearing my end will bring the suffering of many,

So I choose to stay,
In fear and with love,
Although unappreciated and obsolete,
I continue to stay...
