Running Away

the mornings light before me lies dawn does break in eastern sky and I know not what in the day what I shall do stay or go away a distant path does call to me to places that I might be and do the things that I do not know and learn the things that I might know and yet the fear of what might be what I might find and I might be but yet to stay so simple be no need to learn no need to try and yet but here the night I’ve spent had not sweet dreams but nightmares here and yet perhaps in light of day perhaps might I new things find perhaps if I but only stay somehow today might better be yet distant roads places far away somehow yet still does call to me perhaps this night is what I flee perhaps the darkness will fade away and distant lands if traveled to will still at night find nightmares there perhaps the call to run away a siren’s call to ruin be so here I am awaiting the dawn perhaps this day
