Run away

Run away

A Poem by Emily R
"

what 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
