Sometimes, it takes more strength to just let go


I am that house, it's all I've known.
Where all my fears and mememories were grown.

From my first words, to my first kiss.
Toys at Christmas to first loves bliss.

I am that house, It's all I need.
I want that house to see me succeed.

I am that house, that kept me safe at night.
From snow storm glee, to thunder storm fright.

I am that house with the oak in the yard.
Where knees and hearts both were scarred.

I am that house I now must leave.
Eighteen years, its hard to believe.
