GOODBYE

He had only one vision now, 
as he chained himself not to be set free. 
He was afraid of living. 

No, he did not want anything from world, 
or god. 
He was not him always. Somebody in him 
was watching. 

Any gratitude he did not want to expect. 
Not obliged anybody. 
Wanted to go, but stayed. 

Sons and daughters, he loved them - 
for not getting cash mentions from them. 
Some debts he would never pay back. 

It is time for a deep breath of relief. 
Empty house, empty soul, 
and mind full of hurts. 
He wanted to say goodbye.
