Leave me be: a poem

There are days I just want to give up.

Move away to never return. I don't wish to be 

missed. Just leave me be and forget about me

To be missed would mean 

people are sad that I am not present

It is not what I want. I want everyone to

be free. I don't wish to be a remembered in sadness.

I have let go of the idea of being needed,

being loved.

My only duty is to give out love,

but I fear that it will not return the same way

so I let it go.

Do not feel sorry for me,

It is the choice I have made.

I have spent a part of my life

doing what I can. I give 

Just leave me be.
