It's easier to be alone and away
To have a reason not to stray

Yet all i want is to jump off the road
And sprint to where the river flowed

Waves crashing on the river bank
Screaming of unheard voices that sank

Now the water has all dried from our eyes
But no worries, not long new rivers will arise

This time ill run like lightning  into the woods
Reveal all the secrets i haven't understood

The fear of being devoured by wolves does not phase me
Nor do the red glowing eyes staring behind flowering dogweed  trees

Still i do fear leaving the road all on my own
Severing myself from everything i've ever known

These rocks and pebbles that i have come to know so well
Yet all these roots and weeds haven't even scratched my outer shell

Why am i anxious of rocks and pebbles
Why can't i gather the courage to rebel

Patient trying to grow accostomed to this aesthetic
No need to lie to myself, i've just become apathetic

As the roots try to chain me to tranditional toil
My feet cant help but itch for new soil
