I don't really know how to explain this To put it in simple terms: I believe I was born into the wrong family, place, situation, and character To be elsewhere would save me from whatever destruction I might inflict on myself To be with people who make you feel whole, who make you feel understood To be in a place with no past label, a blank slate To be through different hardships To be a different person A better person Love and to be loved There will be hardships But we would have each other And I would feel love for the first time The family, the friends, the people of elsewhere Would fill this void which is my heart I feel so empty I feel so alone But in elsewhere I'd never feel so alive and free and loved and cared for
