A smile would sooth them,
Ease their fears.
No matter how hard I try
It eludes me, how to smile.
I can’t fool them now,
I am hurting and can’t conceal it.
I’ve gotten too lonely.
I won’t have anyone.
My heart was bruised too many times
And now it is numb and dead.
I won’t risk it. I have started to run.
They want me to settle down
And learn to be happy
With someone new,
To stop running away.
I wish I could do everything that they want
But no one can stop me now.
Should they stop me, would they stop me?
Could they stop me now?
Will they stop me, who can stop me
Running to the ends of the earth. |
