Promised Land

I know now

What I must do

After the long

Talk with you

I need to get up

Out of disdain

And quit living

With this pain

I am not happy

Never will I be

As long as I stay

Here with thee

I need to take my life

And start anew

Somewhere somehow

Just not with you

My head has finally

Begun to clear

I realized I am staying

Out of fear

I have to face

The facts at hand

And try to find

My Promised Land
