Wow, I love this, especially the refrain. beautifully written.
I'll get out of this melancholy place
and go where no one knows my face.

This is outstanding, almost like a song lyric--you get better with every poem, I swear.This speaks to me of wanting to get away, to start a new life, a place where we can be who we always have wanted to be.It speaks of loss and sadness, friendship and love.It says so much.And you have written this one beautlfully, Layla, it is like a smooth easy song I have already felt in my soul.I really feel this one.Always remember.Always follow your dreams.Never stop believing anything is possible.
Take care,
Gary
