Run Away
I have had it all my life,
This desire to run away.
It's like I can't handle stability,
Or crave adventure,
Excitement of some form.
Even when I was little I used to consider it,
But I wasn't brave enough back then.
I'm not even brave enough now.
I ran away to University in the end,
The perfect escape.
Then, when I was grown,
I really did run away,
From everything,
To Australia.
It was the first time I was ever truly at peace.
There is one person in this world,
I would never run away from.
Ironically, it was he who ran away instead.
To Australia.
Though I know he's not at peace,
Not really.
And he won't talk to me about it.
Meanwhile here I am leading a stable life,
That perfect thing.
When all I truly want,
Is just to run away.
