Save Yourself

Michael W. Evans 1970 (US)

Shoot for the stars, jump over the moon. Death will find us, surely soon. Faked concern, unknown source. Expressing myself, no remorse. Live your life, let mine die. You'll find no tears in my eyes. Can you see clearly the end of the road? It has been hard, I confess, or so I've been told. But harder are some than mine, I can see. So leave me alone, leave me to be. My words, my thoughts, write to be free.
