I waved goodbye to the oak tree
And felt the cool breeze surround me
Looked up to the multicoloured sunset
And down to the assortment of sienna leaves

It is time for me to go, I have decided
To leave behind the world I've known
and to depart from it
But if in my absence you remember how I left
I would ask that you cast aside the memory of me
To never remember and to forever forget

...

Your departed friend

If you ask me who I am
I'll say I'm many things at once
I am the person that I hide
And will one day become

I am better than myself in the past.
yet to be who I am at my core
I am how I handle the task
Of being all these things and more

Why not ask me what I want
I'll be many things at once
To be all that the future holds
Only then will I feel whole

I threw a stone into a lake
to see if it would come back to me.
Truly I knew what the result would be,
but it didn't stop me hoping u see.
For I hoped I was special and a sign would reveal itself indeed.
But as expected the lake swallowed up my stone,
the glistening rock now a glistening memory.
