Some days I wish I could run away

Just hop on the bus

And drive

And drive

And drive some more

Off into some countryside

Alone

Quiet

At peace for once in my life

In solitude

Where I could get a small job

A job for just me

I could be a secret billionaire

Writing books under an

Anonymous name

And no one could find me

And no one would know me

The perfect new kid bliss

 

Some days I wish I could run away

To not feel these things anymore

I could be happy

With just me

Cut myself off from the world

And just be me

By myself

I

Want to run away

Sometimes

Because life wouldn’t be so bad

Alone

Then maybe I could be happy

With just me

And no one to intrude

And puncture my bubble

Of final happiness

 

Some days I wish I could run away

Because verbal abuse

Is wrong

And it hurts

More than most things

To me

If I could

I would make it

Then I would finally have

Peace

And quiet

Just for me

 

Am I selfish?

Maybe so

But some days I want to run away

And never return.
