An odd shade of Brown
Some days I wish I could run away
Just hop on the bus
And drive
And drive
And drive some more
Off into some countryside
Alone
Quiet
At peace for once in my life
In solitude
Where I could get a small job
A job for just me
I could be a secret billionaire
Writing books under an
Anonymous name
And no one could find me
And no one would know me
The perfect new kid bliss
Some days I wish I could run away
To not feel these things anymore
I could be happy
With just me
Cut myself off from the world
And just be me
By myself
I
Want to run away
Sometimes
Because life wouldn’t be so bad
Alone
Then maybe I could be happy
With just me
And no one to intrude
And puncture my bubble
Of final happiness
Some days I wish I could run away
Because verbal abuse
Is wrong
And it hurts
More than most things
To me
If I could
I would make it
Then I would finally have
Peace
And quiet
Just for me
Am I selfish?
Maybe so
But some days I want to run away
And never return.
