I just thought I should let you know

I want to see the world.

I don’t wanna be afraid.

I feel the way I feel,

And I smell it in the air.

The pure urge to travel away.

In this town, I feel alone,

But I see faces everywhere I go.

They are blank, no expression,

I don’t see myself here.

I look around at the beautiful day and think,

Well, it might as well be raining.

It wouldn’t change a thing.

I’d still walk the streets and stare down at the road ahead.

And wonder why,

I can’t be somewhere else instead?

If I could dream any bigger my head would explode.

My fingers would shake and my legs would fro-zen.

If I could imagine a world any greater,

I would have it.

I can’t say I’m perfect, but I,

Think I deserve it.

I know I deserve,

Something new.

I want to smile wider,

My cheeks are tied at my normal face.

And I wish I could just replace,

What I don’t like.

The world seems brighter outside these doors,

But I don’t know how to get out.

I’ve tried before,

But I will try again.

You’ll hear from me soon,

I wanted to tell you, the truth.

I’ll see you.

Green Circle Spins

Round and round it goes When will it stop? The colour of grass and lime Make my skin as white as the snow That falls oh how heavily On the patchy gravel roads The money paid doesn’t getaway From the cracks and holes spotted daily Or the roadkill on the sidewalks As I walk down […]
