I flee from the masses
And fly to the rooftops
Up the worn staircase
To the confines of my mind

Within the loneliness
The ever-changing thoughts
The shatters of memories
I am trapped.
Brynn Louise Aug 2014
Running, running, always running.
What is it with the running?
Why is that the verb that I,
And all the rest desire?

We want to run!
To get away!
Our own lives never good enough.
The place we sit never feeling right.
We're always searching,
And always wanting,
We feel as if we need it.

But do we?
What if we're wrong
What if right here is just fine?
Because here and now is who we are.
Who are we to deny that?

Why do we need to run?
To get away?
Who said that what we are right now,
Isn't what we'll always be?
If we run; we're still ourselves.
But now we're in a brand new city.

And alone.
Slightly edited stream of consciousness.
Teenage Mess Aug 2014
A hallway with a door at the end.
All the lights lining the hallway are as bright as the sun.
Suddenly one by one they turn off.
You start running
Afraid of what is lurking in the now dark corners.
You're so close to the light, you can feel the warmth caressing your outstretched hand.
But your legs are getting tired, you've been running for far to long.
So as you slow down, hope starts to slip away that the light will ever be that close again.
You no longer see the light.
But don't worry, if the demons don't get you the angels surely will...
This is my explanation of how MY depression feels.

I don't know why
I didn't realize at first
I knew deep down
But it didn't hit me

I would run away
Change the subject
Anything
To stop myself
Anything
To protect myself

When you kissed me
I couldn't stop
I face planted

They don't understand!
They don't get it!
They never have!
Can't they see you make me happy?
Can't they see I'm in love?
They say love blinds us.
But you know what?
I don't care.
If I'm blind.
I love it.
You're beautiful.
You make me feel beautiful!
Nothing will ever change my mind.

So babe.
Take my hand.
Kiss me.
Wrap your body in mine.
And let's go.
I'll grab some cash.
Maybe some clothes.
And we can be on our way.

Let's run!
Far away!
Let's get outta this town.
We've grown out of it!
And you know how to travel the world.
Now show me.
Show me all the things you've seen.
Show me the good and bad.
Let me see your 4am face.
Let me touch your 5pm body.
Let me kiss your 11am lips.
Let's be something.

Let's run for the life we can have together.
Just us.
Just me.
Just you.
Together.
For however long we've got.
Let's go.
I'm feeling very stubborn about this.

The sweetest of words escape your lips and leave me breathless.
Butterflies flutter inside,
fill day dreams with your static covered voice,
So smooth and masculine.

Never have I been so drawn to the corners of another's mind,
wanting to fill myself into the creaks of your heartache.
I could heal you....
shower you in affection and adoration.

Your brilliance captivates me,
leaving me wanting more.
I'm to caught up in what ifs...
What lingers between that I can't confess,
is that I'm afraid,
I could get completely lost in you.
