She has great friends and a family too.
She always has done what she was told to do.
She’s never been scolded by a parent or cop,
But sometimes she needs for this perfect life to stop.
She’s caught in a net, she’s trapped in a bubble.
She needs to just once try to get in trouble.
She searches for an escape, she’s losing her mind.
She picks up a new life, and leaves the old behind.
She runs away from home, starting off slow.
Riding the bus ... not knowing where to go.
As she gets off the bus she takes a look around.
Taking in the feeling, the sights, and the sound.
She’s in a strange city, an unfamiliar place.
She wouldn’t even recognize her own worn out face.
Starting to get nervous she just keeps on walking.
A man approaches her, and he begins talking.
He said, “It’s not safe, go home kid!”
Although she nodded “yes”, going home’s not what she did.
Time goes by, and now its too late,
To be home for dinner that’s always at eight.
Her parents are worried, they send out a search
As they get a group to pray in the church.
Surrounded by sirens, she’s found on the street.
The cops look down, she’s weeping at their feet.
“Take me home” She says to the men.
“And I promise I’ll never run away again.
I Thought I was trapped in darkness, but I was surrounded by light,
Never again will I escape from what I now know is right”.
