Is It Right?

Before you leave, is it right to always say goodbye,
wishing for good tidings for the future that you are inviting, 
you're so excited, thinking about the life you led,
and the I've that's ahead, though the path is dark,
you hope desire gives a spark,
you've prayed everyday and awaited a response,
a Good Word,
a Bad Feeling,
anything to let you know that on the right road or did you choose to go left,
given all to your dreams until there's not much left,
your health starts to suffer,
then your prayers stop buffering the reality, the fallacies,
misconceptions misinterpretations of the signs, 
you've done so much compromising you left yourself behind.

Is it right to say goodbye when you leave,
those many hearts spilling tears on your left sleeve,
hoping their love and affection, might change your direction,
since you're following your heart,
they begin to feel that connection is slowly breaking apart,
slowly hardening the hearts, that you've earned the respect of,
because you were the best dove,
bringing peace and happiness to everyone you touched,
yet the dream that you need is going to put you out of touch.

Is it right to say goodbye, when you feel you need to leave,
you'd like to think you would be back
but pursuing dreams often means that once you get to where
you're going things aren't always what they seem,
then what do you do with shattered dreams,
do you return back to the scene, where you were once King or Queen, 
will loyal subjects now turn mean, will you become the Court Jester,
fool & failure becomes the themes of a once bright & confident,
visionary proponent,
the one who lead by dreams turned to nightmares hear the screams asking...

Is it right to say goodbye before you leave?
Is any door truly closed if you believe?
So is it right to say goodbye before you leave?
