i want to live this crazy life
where i love so much that it hurts
but it doesn't have to.
i want to dance
and laugh
and live,
somewhere that isn't here.
i'm shaking inside trying to rip out of this skin.
i want to be a poet,
and an athlete,
and a baker
and silly,
and serious,
and crazy
all in the same me.
i want to laugh so hard that i cry,
on the daily.
i want to cry so hard that i laugh,
only once or twice, though.
i want to live,
and look back knowing that
i was me.
i'm living now,
breathing and being,
but i'm stuck in my skin.
desperately trying to escape,
trying to really live.
