Painfully aware, of all my peers

The pain, the pressure, creates real fears

Trying to escape so many eyes and ears

Over thinking so much, my mind is seared

Afraid of the judgment, so my voice has no sound

Dodging harsh eyes, so MY eyes find the ground

This lingering emotion, I cannot define

They say mind over matter, but I say matter over mind

I'm running from something, I jump into my dream

In that happy place, I can be exactly what I seem

I finally understand what this emotion must mean

Because I figured out what I'm running from...

I'm Running From Me
