I don’t mean to hurt

By Vladimir Huber

It’s when you are pushed away,
‘cause you can’t be
the way you would like to be.
It’s when you are pushed away,
‘cause you think that
you’re helping your surroundings,
but instead, you’re putting them down,
and destroying them,
even that the intention
has a lot of pureness.
Then, you decide and you know,
that you have to move away,
at least for a while;
while you realize the way
to really help them,
instead of tear them off in pieces.

Who knows if you might be back,
but, they love you, after all;
they put up with you,
even, after all what you do.
They are good people,
but, why do we all
have to have a different level?
Higher or lower,
we will never meet,
at least, after my return,
if it happens.
