Wild

I want to leave
This place
These people
This life

I want to run away into the woods
Where I don't need to try to beautiful
Or to impress you
Or befriend you
Or look at you

I want to run with the deer
I want to howl with the wolves
I want to climb the tallest tree and look at the world
I want to swim naked in a river
And laugh because I can
I want to scream my demons away
I want to lay in the dirt
I want to see the sun through the trees
I want to fall asleep
Listening to the leaves blowing in the wind
I want be surrounded by stars and blinded by the moon
I want the sun to warm my face
I want to be happy
I want to forget what real life is like
I want to forget this place
I want to forget everyone
I want to forget you

I was born to be wild
I want to be a part of the Wild
So that when I die
I can come back as the clouds
Or the grass
Or a tree
Or a flower
Or anything I want to be

I want to be Wild
I want to be free
