I've looked for a way to exit, but cannot find the door.
The windows have all disappeared that had been open to me before.
Wondering how to leave this scene has left me in a bind.
I want to go, but in a way that is not so unkind.
To sneak away, into the night, like some burglar on the prowl,
Or charge with saber rattling, as a street fighter to a brawl?
Which way to go? It puzzles me most every day and night.
Will I leave out of the front door, or through the back, in flight?
I really doesn't matter which way I choose to leave.
What matters, most, is that I go without having to deceive.
To walk away with head held high, is what I’d like to do.
As to the chosen route to take, I haven’t got a clue.
Where will I go when I depart is open for debate
I haven't started packing, though the hour is growing late.
There's one thing I know for certain, and this I can surely say.
The day I leave when ere it is, will be a happy day.~Jay Olson
