We'll Fly Far Away

A Poem by Tori

When all you want is to get away...

Look around you.
The sky is inviting
The sun is beckoning.
Life is sweet like honey today
So may I take your hand and lead you
Far away
Where we can be
Us?
I mean, just look around you!
Right now, we're held back
We're not who we are
It's summertime
But we're not free.
We're trying to be who they want us to be.
But can I take you with me
When I break out of this house
And into my own life?
Honestly, I want you around me.
I want you to be just how you are
And I want me to be me
(We're not academic;
we're not all that smart, you see.)
I want
To be seen
But I'd never be seen anywhere without you.
So let's just run
And leave it all behind
Baby, take my hand
We'll fly far away
And make these dreams come true.
