She Wants To Be Free

The wind whipping through her hair.

Oh how I wish that was me.

 

As free as could be,

Without a care in the world.

 

Just to be able to run from it all,

From all this torment - she'd give anything.

 

Anything to be normal,

To be one hundred percent sure of just one thing.

 

Even if it's just for a second.

She wishes she could be able to experience what everyone else experiences.

 

The girl of a broken heart.

Do you see what you have created?

 

She's just a shell of herself,

Of the girl she always wished she could be.

 

And now she runs.

Runs from the world.

 

The world we all know and hate.

The world she wished would disappear.

 

She runs and runs,

Never stopping.

 

Her feet bleed,

Her limbs ache,

 

But she doesn't stop.

She wants to get as far away as possible.

 

But it doesn't work.

She just experiences the same damn thing.

 

Over and over,

Will it ever stop?

 

All the hatred and prejudice.

She wishes it would go away.

 

But it never does.

And she realizes this too late.

 

Way too late,

As the tears cascade down her cheeks.

 

Her world shattered

All within the time span of a few minutes.

 

Those words so hateful

You spit mercilessly.

 

And now she runs.

Runs for her life.

 

To save her life.

Too bad she doesn't realize that it's already over.

 

Wind whipping through her hair,

Free as could be.

 

Oh how she wishes her dreams would come true.

But what kind of world would we live in if that happened?

 

A nice world.

A peaceful world.

 

But we can never achieve that.

She knows that.

 

And this is why she runs.

Why she runs to save herself.

 

To save herself from falling.

Falling into the trap of society.

 

Being dragged down

To join all the rest.

I understand that, sometimes I also feel the desire to just run away from everything.
well done :)
