Sometimes

Sometimes I want to go somewhere With no-one else around, So there'd be no opportunity For them to let me down. Sometimes I want to be someone Who's tough and extroverted, So if I found myself alone I'd never feel deserted. Sometimes I want to dive into A sea of silver linings, With no trace of clouds or troubles, Heartbreak or lovesick pinings, Then my spirits would be high and light, So I could never drown, And I'd be too free and peaceful To trade my smile for a frown. But 'til then, on land I will remain, Helpless to take in every blow, But someday, when I'm someone new, To somewhere far below I'll go.
