Countdown

Countdown

A Poem by Tamika Finley

There's nothing left for me here..
I desire to be nowhere near..
I lost my love here..
Maybe I'll find a new love elsewhere..

When you're living in a big city with much excitement..
But you don't want to go out..
Or hang with friends..
Or see shows..
And do crazy things..
It feels much smaller..
And tends to lose all things exciting..

I can't care for you anymore..
It's sad that it has to be this way..
But I'm putting this town and everything else behind me..
It all keeps getting in my way..

I'll always have love for you Detroit but I'm counting down..
Counting down the days..
The days will there will only be memories left of you because I'll be gone..
Counting down the days..
Till the "farewell Detroit" day..
Counting down the days..
Until August 8th.

Wow I really like how you pictured train of thought here. The ellipses make it feel like your thoughts are veering off, very much like the real mind. I like it!
