In the quiet of the dawn, I take my leave,
From the home that shaped my dreams and fears,
The walls that heard my secrets, saw my tears,
Now I venture forth, with heart on sleeve.

The echoes of laughter, whispers of the past,
Follow me as I tread unknown paths,
Memories linger, like shadows they cast,
In this new world, away from hearth’s warmth.

Every step a mix of hope and dread,
The road ahead both thrilling and severe,
Yet courage grows with each word unsaid,
As I embrace the future, leave behind the near.

Farewell, dear home, your lessons I cherish,
As I forge ahead, my spirit won’t perish,
For in my heart, your love will always reside,
Guiding me through life’s uncharted tide.
