who will not go

You said you were leaving,

you said that many times

but still you're here,

to yourself and to me you lie.

You say your suitcase is full,

filled over the top,

but you're still here angry and dull.

You complain about people, how they think about life, their believes, food and fun

but you're still here, and you will not run.

You keep saying you're going,

you say you'll be better off there,

but from there you came a long time ago and you are still here.

Gather courage, go or be silent!

But be a human wherever you are.

Lies will not bring you salvation,

accept people, or alone, die .
