Do You Ever Just Want to Run Away?A Poem by ClaireDo you ever just wanna run away
Not forever Just long enough to let the pain slip away Long enough to give my heart just a little time Time to bleed Time to heal Time to remember why I go through this Day after day Never yeilding when I need a break Trying so hard not to snap at her But pretending like it doesn't affect me when she snaps at me Give me time to break down this wall around me Time to just lay in the grass Gaze up at the stars A place with out the drama And pain she causes A place where I don't have to constantly worry Worry about whether she'll be here tomorrow or not Worry about her Worry about mom Only you and me Give me time to think With out music blasting next door Or shouts of her filling the hallway Time I know I can't find here Time I know I shouldn't even bother looking for here Let me release my emotions Without holding back Not having to be strong for anyone else Not even me Cuz I know that you'll be strong for me When it's too hard for me to be strong for myself Cuz you know in turn I'll be strong for you when you need it But now it's time to put down this pen And close this notebook It's time to lay my head down And let my dreams consume me And all I ask is for her not to wake me up Cuz this dream is my temporary escape from the world The one time I don't have to conciously make the decisions I can just close my eyes Let my mind take me anywhere it wishes Cuz until I can escape with you This is all I have © 2009 Claire |
