I’m running, I’m running, and I just don’t stop, I’m running to be me, to be alone, in the solitude of myself, I want no friends no help and no aid So I’m running, I’m running, I’m running naked by the street. I’m naked, I’m naked, for all can see My life is revealed, and it’s a horror I’m revealed. Sun burning bright, there be no hiding While light keeps me in sight. The cars screech past to glimpse For a moment Then to judge, never stopping to ask Or wonder why I hide in a shack at the intersection, But my friends of the past were all waiting So I ran to find freedom, to just be me Alone, by myself, simply let me be I want no friends, I want no company. I’m running, I’m running, till the government catches, They arrest, I say I want to be alone, to be only me; They respond, no, you will be who we make you to be I’m naked They know all about me. Through their halls, they lead me through I’m naked, all that pass see me Let me be, I want no company; Three girls crying, three girls crying, I hide behind my predator to shield my shame, As my nakedness, my captivity, is all my blame; I greet the one I know But tears keep her words below, Three girls crying, behind their blankets They try to hide their sorrows, The three girls crying, the three girls crying. Trapped in a chair, I’m naked, I’m naked, Thespians wandering in, playing with fire as waves, Throwing and tumbling and twirling flames Entrancing the congregation that they form me with, I’m naked, all can see me, I want to run to hide I want no friends, no company, Someone let me go, to be me Just be me All alone.

Feel free to quote or use if you feel it’s worthy of doing so (for when I share what I write, it’s for people to hear/read it if they desire to), but please don’t take it and say these words and phrases are your own, grant me the credit of writing it. Thank you. And tell a spider a secret today; it’s what they live off of.
