I am NOT running away. How was I to know that there was no place to go? No Home. How was I to know That love was lost not just for a day but forever Desperate for deliverance.. from a life I could not tolerate. I left on a mission to find where I belong to find I don't belong. Looking for a sanctuary that does not exist. I return in disgrace and submerge myself in desperation and frustration.. No longer believing in ... love. No longer dreaming of ... home. I have failed life ... So I stand-alone Erica Ivory
Wtitten as a teen
