This is my entry for week one of Steemit Slam organised by 
I wrote this about 20 years ago now and I'm glad to say that I'm not feeling the same way I was when it was originally written. :)
The theme for the first week of this great contest is 'Leaving'.
Here is my entry...
Somehow, some way!
Six billion people,
That inside I am dying.
A big empty hole
I wish I could leave!
But it's alright,

OK, so I know that probably wasn't the cheeriest poem you ever read but as I said, I no longer feel the way I did when it was written so I don't mind sharing it with whoever wants to read it. If it has made you feel sad though, here's a picture of me and my beautiful wee baby girl, Leah! :)
