Runaway

by AcidQuicksilver   Jul 10, 2008


Seems as though
She's intent
On destroying everything
She holds dear
She doesn't know
What she's meant for
And the future
To her is unclear
Lost in the journey
Only wanting freedom
Running and hiding
From reality
Marching to the beat
Of her own drum
Not listening or seeing
Can't hear her own feet
Lost on the road
Of loneliness and regret
Flying from the real world
Wondering
Is it over yet?
Carrying a heavy load
She finds it hard to stay happy
And keep going on
That girl wants to flee
And forget anything's wrong
She wants to get so high
That she can never come down
All that girl needs is
Her own way to fly
Pressure of others
Is making her drown
Its a vicious circle
And she's trapped in the middle
All she wants is
Her own individuality
Her life's starting to feel like
No more than a riddle
A game to play
Like a puppet on strings
Or a bird
Trying to fly
But in the absence of
Her wings
Tied down to
The hard expectations
She's rebelling
And fighting her way through
Last chance to look back
But she doesn't turn around
Legs pumping
Wings spreading
She's leaving the ground
Letting the chains fall
Feeling the wind on her face
Living away from
All the constraints
Looking into the light
Flying farther from
The darkness of night
