When I Leave This Place (Version 2)

A more recent touch-up the original poem. There's just a few minor changes to it; actually, just two changes I can remember off the top of my head. Inspired by and deticated to Rio del Norte (RDN).

When I leave this place,

I will never forget your face

My beloved RDN,

You were my only friend.

 

I may leave in tears,

But I will overcome my fears

Thanks to you,

I will live my life full and through

 

All because of you, RDN.

 

I have learned

That the world is my friend

I can trust,

I have learned everything I must

 

When I leave this place,

I can stand up high

With a smile on my face.

 

You never treated me

Like an outsider or a rat,

And because of that,

I will never forget your face

 

When I leave this place.

Author's Note

Be honest, be blunt, but always remember that this was one of my earliest poems, so it really isn't as well-written as the more recent ones.
