By your leave
Sometimes it’s best to step back
Step away
Trip away
Remove yourself from the situation
Sometimes it’s safer to hold back
Trip away
Step away
Hold your tongue and unanswered questions
Sometimes it’s kinder to yourself to be cruel and bold
Take your leave
And by your leave
Hold your searing pain and burning passions
Sometimes it’s kinder to yourself to appear kind but feel cold
Take your leave
And by your leave
Take control of your own fate, your decisions
Sometimes it’s easier to leave than to be left behind
So take your time
Trip away
Hold your tongue
Step away
When it’s a daily trauma you find
Take your leave
Keep your questions
And by your leave
Tame your passions
Sometimes it’s crueler to be kind

I’ve been an avid reader and scribbler for years but only recently started thinking about publishing my work.
I’ve always enjoyed writing and have, since 2008, been producing scripts for theatre as my main focus of writing, but always scribbling poems, songs and short stories for fun, and/or catharsis. I’m also a keen sketcher and sketchnoter.
