Run awayA Poem by Emily Rwhat I wrote when I wanted to leave
Can I just go somewhere new
And reinvent and recreate everything I know to be Can I change my name And change my games Leaving whenever s**t gets too real That's what we're supposed to do isn't it? Run away from all our problems Mask them with booze and drugs and bliss Pretending nothing really exists Laughing about things that hurt us And never trusting any human being Not even yourself Spending all days indoors Pretending you don't want to cry Or maybe you actually are to far gone And really don't want to die Not remembering which came first or what went last Just make sure you don't look back Pack those two shirts and ripped denim jeans Put on those heavy black shoes The ones that used to make you free But now it simply feels like ten tons of dark matter Dragging the entire system down Lean against a cold brick wall, and sigh With nothing left to mask the pain The bottles empty time to face reality Except for that there's nothing left for you And nothing to look forward too Except for pain, pain and more pain Might as well try to run away again
