I want to run long and far away,
to a place unknown to all.
To a place where I am me and only me.
A place where I can dry
my tears and throw away my fears.

I want to climb the tallest mountain,
and stand at the top and
laugh for no reason at all.
Laugh at my victory,
and feel the euphoria in the cool air,
laughing among the clouds.

I want to dance beneath the
stars, their pinpoints of light
shining down on me.
Dancing in the night air,
with no one around to see.
Landing in the cool grass to
stare up at the beauty scattered like
pebbles in the night sky.

What if I'm not who I seem?
Maybe I'm not as happy as my smile tries to be.
Maybe life is just dragging me along,
pulling me to my destiny.
Maybe I'm not swimming through this ocean,
but sinking to the darkest depths of the sea.
Maybe this isn't the beginning of my story,
instead  these are the last words for you to
read.

Dirt obstructs the view
of the world.
Deceit pours from mouths
like rain from clouds.
We tread on paths
of treachery.
They lead us to oceans
of lies.
Our minds create
twisted tales.
We lay beneath our covers
hiding from the truth.
But the skeletons in the closet
have come out to play.
And the ***** laundry of the night
hangs high in the day.
