Distant Thoughts

Distant Thoughts
______________________

Woes of this "Princess",
I choose not to be
oh for this life
that weigh like bricks on me.

That is why I ran away,
sitting here in natures hold
I like the peace
and futures here untold.

I can be whom I choose,
not whats chose for me
and out in this private place
I'm alive and free.

I don't care about these cloths,
They show not what's inside
and every secret  I have
to the trees I can confide.

But as life would have it,
yes...I have been found
now I stay in "Distant Thoughts"
and I hear no other sound.

this is a great take on that picture of the girl by a tree. It is cool to see someone do that theme already.
