Running Free
Clothes packed
Bag in the closet
Ready to go
Ready to run
I look at it daily
Not today, I think
Just get through the day
One day at a time
How did I get here
How did it get this far
I want to go
Be on my own
just be me
The voices in my head
At a dull roar
I'm itching to see more
To drive away
To do everything
I want to do
What kind of person
Can I be
To give up what I am
Just to be me
To leave small and content
Rush head first
Into the large and longing
Running away from all this
I could give it all up
Leave everything
Just be me.
