Should I Go Away

Should I go away
few would notice; fewer would understand
how long I kept the demons at bay.

Endless hours make up the day
how I wonder with helpless hands
should I go away.

With all my heart I want to stay
be a groupie for my favorite band
then out of the blue my mind will sway

back to that never, never land.
To my knees I do pray
should I go away.

Others will disagree with what I say
for them it’s nothing short of quicksand
because we’ve been trained to obey

the letter of the land.
Still I wonder when my mind’s gone astray
should I go away
few would notice; fewer would understand
