Perhaps you think to yourself:

“If only I could leave
this world for another one,
where I haven’t made mistakes,
where I’m not so alone,
where he/she/they still might live…”

I too think such things.

But mind the gap, friend.
Would you leave everything behind?
What would you learn there?
What wouldn’t you learn there?
What if you can’t return?

Worse perhaps if you can.
