A poem about feeling

too eager to leave
unwilling to stop
and listen
voices were too loud
when all I needed
was silence
I couldn't stay
one more day
I couldn't live
one more moment
it was time to go
time to leave
the pain
was too great
the sorrow
too strong
there was violence
in this world
there was unacceptance
there was an inability
to understand
anything different
from themselves
so I left
afraid of where
I was going
leaving anyway
