Finding Herself...Forgotten Poem by Candika Niada

She waits until evening
When everyone is asleep.
Then she sneaks out the window,
To take her big leap.
She is not sure where to go
Or if it will work out;
But she wants to know
What she has lived without.
As she heads for the road,
She looks back on her past,
Takes her first step forward,
And vows to have a blast.

Now many years have gone by
For this woman who has aged.
She has finally come home
But everything has changed.
People that she'd once knew,
Are no longer around.
They've all gone to heaven,
Buried deep within the ground.
The house she'd once lived in
Now lay in piles of wood,
Decaying slowly with time,
Just like her childhood.

Now, for the second time
She walks away from her past.
This time though
It'll be her last.
With each dying breath,
A sadness fills her heart.
It's finally time
For her soul to part.
Noone is there
To hear her sorrow,
Of a past long gone
With no tomorrow.
