As I open the door of my malibu
Immediately I wonder where I’ll travel to
Keys already in the ignition
Take me somewhere far–I’m wishing.
Oh, how the wind blows.
I’m alive.
But I can barely feel my toes.
Let us climb the highest mountain.
Let us swim in the ocean.
Taste the wildest berries.
Bust the craziest dance moves.
Please don’t judge and disapprove.
I want to run away.
Well–not really.
Loved ones would probably go all willy nilly.
I crave freedom.
Free my mind
No more thinking
I said STOP.
It stops.
It stops when the frog hops.
It stops when I sit in the woods and the raindrops, I’m not in me.
head when I choose to be free in the real world, but I am too.
busy inside my head with my construction workers Building.
my dreamworld
Let’s go to a different country.
Or perhaps a different state
It could alter my state.
Of mind.
I’m tired of feeling blind.
I can see perfectly fine.
Inside my head of course
Reality check
I’m sitting by my desk.
Awaiting my next assignment
Remember to wear your mask.
Tic-toc tic-toc
I want to be in shock.
I want excitement.
Perhaps I change my major
Ugh! been there and done that.
I live in my head when reality appears dull.
It is entertaining inside.
But also, the scariest
Wish it could be all of the merriest.
The repetitive cycle of life
Did anyone get a knife?
You know for getting through the wildlife.
I’ll need it when I’m in the woods.
Getting away from real life
Seriously though
I want to chase the wind.
Blow me into the sweet nothings possibly.
somewhere with a beautiful sight, I’m not.
even afraid of a bite
Place me anywhere.
I don’t care.
Anyways,
I’m in the middle of nowhere.
Surrounded by violence.
Hatred
Ignorance
Opinion
Don’t forget to
Get a job.
Get a degree.
What the hell do you want from me!!??
I’ll see you all later.
Back inside my head, I’m a decorator.
I paint the walls green.
Nope, bright pink
And nothing stinks.
Because inside here
I am me.
Inside here
I don’t have to volunteer.
No more forcing words out of my peer
Back inside my head
I pretend.
I highly recommend it!
