Escape

I want to escape, I want to run, But where do I go, Somewhere fun, A place where the sun is shining, But it is not hot, The rain is falling, Yet I don't feel a drop, Birds are chirping, Butterflies fly, Lightning strikes, In that clear blue sky, The wind is blowing, Across my skin, Sending chills down my back, Making my lips form a grin, The shadows are lurking, I can see them dance, Do I join in, Should I take that chance, My fears are liquid, They drift away, I watch them flutter, Into outerspace, The fish are jumping, Why do they have wings, Why do I muse, Over these random things, My thoughts are racing, My imagination runs, As I lay here, In the sun, The clouds are coming, This can't be good, Is it time to leave, I think I should, I hear no chirping, I see no fish, The shadows are laughing, Like crypt keepers in the mist, It's time to run, It's time to dash, This is no longer fun, I need to escape and fast, The worlds turned dark, The end is near, My thoughts are now filled, With nothing but fear, I want to escape, I want to run, But where do I go, When there is no longer fun?
