Everyone Leaves

By Dillan M.

As my mom watches me drive away, I know she has a sense of discomfort

I know she doesn’t like when I leave

She understand when I have to go to work or up town

My sisters off to collage and moved out now

It’s quiet

She’s getting to know the world better

My mom had to watch her leave and soon me too

She knows this

Yet she will still miss me

I can’t wait to be on my own

Having the opportunity to make something of myself

My mom wants me to do the best I can

I try to make her proud of me

I know she is

She still hates my leaving though

Knowing where I’m at keeps a peace within her

I’m going to miss her when I move out for good

I’ll still visit all I can

I’ll try

Everyone leaves at some time.
