SnakeA Poem by MercedesThe real me is in there somewhere, just hidden beneath lies.
All I ever want to do is just run away
I can't stand standing still, But I don't know where to go I'm stuck, jogging in place, waiting For what, I still don't quite know Maybe I'm waiting for a place, or a day, Maybe for a sign, or something like it Anything that would show me the way The way to go to get away, to run away To be free. All I want is to escape my chains, And be me, far away from my tiny little cell I want my freedom I don't want to be bound to someone else, Their schedule, thier life, for the rest of mine I just want to run, run far far away To lose this skin, shed my old self like a snake, And become someone new - The person I really want to be The real me. © 2009 Mercedes |
