fine by me
Beyond the four walls
No one knew
But me
And I knew
I had to set me free.
I waved good bye
Kissed my mom
Stepped forth
Through barbed wire
Headed north.
Mom's alone
Sitting next to dad
Her book
A book of psalms.
I step on stone
And rolling rocks.
Yosef waves
And blows a kiss,
Walks five steps
Then waits again.
Tears in his heart
For I am a sister
Leaving the family.
Mindy cries for real
Tears and tears and more tears.
But not as many as mine
For I know where I’m heading.
I’m heading nowhere
Leaving everyone
And at the time
It was fine by me.
