Long Island, Oh How You Make Me Suffer,

Long Island, Oh How You Make Me Suffer,

9/20/12

By: Sami LaRose

I need to get out of this town, to get out and about

 To leave this drought of a town that is filled with so much negativity I'm surprised it's still around

I need to get out of this town

To move onto bigger and better things, nothing will come to me as long as I stay around here, I need to make moves in order to fa fill my career

I need to get out of this town

All though it will be hard, I have left many marks and broken surely many many hearts, and have had my heart broken a few tI'mes too here

I need to get out of this town

I need to let all the angry and the rage go far, far,away while the people who bother me are beyond at bay. I need them no longer here to disturb me and my life, I've already had to put up so much of a fight

I need to get out of this town to escape the memories. Every where I go it reminds me of what we used to be. The I'mages playback in my mind like an old VHS always put on rewind

I need to get out of this town, to escape this dark evil trap
I need to get out of this town before it gives me a heart attack.

Forever alone I think not, I am just sitting their watching the plot 
It goes past me for hours, and sometI'mes days, and than everything starts to vanish in a haze

I need to get out of this town to help me reach my full potential, nothing feels good when your 4'11 but inside your 6 feet tall
Always being stared out, and I never forgot to remind people that it was rude 

I need to get out of this town because of you, because I would finally like to start over new.

I need to leave this town to become more independent, and as long as I stay here today, I do not see that happening

I need to leave this town so that I can have my freedom back, something that should of never even went out of whack.
