dear manchester

so, i know where my roads are leading for the next three years -
hopefully with a detour to the USofA.
the weight's off my shoulders, but has slipped down to my feet.
i'm dragging my shadow behind me down the street.
where am i going with this?

i've never been so happy. i've never been so apathetic.
fourteen years for this?
goodbye home, goodbye person who knows me best, goodbye to the sanity i have left.
i'm not scared. i'm not worried. i'm not excited.

but i AM ready.
ready to breathe underwater.
ready to enjoy the brief pride of a father.
ready to get the hell out of this town.
