"What Is"

Time tells me, it's time to go,

to leave this place and find a new.

To break a part from what already is,

and leap into the sea of what could be.



I know what is,

it's sadness and pain.

Emptiness and loss,

loneliness and dread.



I wake each morning to wish

I was still dreaming.

Living in a world where family,

was who you went to.



You know it's time to leave,

when family seems like a last resort.

When things don't feel right,

and emotions seem wrong.



I need to find what could be,

this world is limitless.

The possibilities are endless,

and my heart needs to fly.



God has given my heart wings,

and I need to use them.

I need to drive to the city of what could be,

and finally find a happy, "What is."
