Do you ever feel like running away?

Does your skin ever feel too tight

Or too loose, for that matter

That you just want to escape it

altogether.

Does your existence in general seem bleak

You want to be your first option

You want to put yourself first

insted of the others.

Do the plains behind your house

Or the hills that you pass by

Or the mountains that you’ve seen once in your life

seem inviting?

Do you want to run away?

Do you want to change your skin

Do you want another kin

Another face, another space

visiting the outer space

Depersonalized, living

While dying alive

You feel it’s the people

stirring

in your inside.

When chaos overtakes you

You try to rationalize

But never did feelings understand you

For they have been like you once too.

Ignored, depersonalized and sad

Someone tells you

That they cannot be emotional with you

that logic rules them

That the next friend you’ll make

Will actually care

But they are the 100th next you ever met

and there is no one yet

Do you want to run away?

Getting lost in the forest

And forgetting yourself.

Going out in the city

And emerging as someone else.

Going into your room

And killing this self

That carries

So many memories

Forgetting that you’ve been forgotten

All this time

And that it’s killing you inside

Do you want to run away?

Do you want to save yourself?

Do you want to forget yourself?

Do you want to be someone else?

Do you want to change your skin

It might take another year

Are you ready to make the choice?
