I get to run away

To hide in a far, far away castle

From the hurt,

From the insults

From the things that claw at me

That draw blood and bring me back

Back to the hollow shell of denial

The suffication of hate over my confusion

To the hours I spent hoping my fears would stay behind my lips

I get to run

Over seas of new beginnings

New games and tests

My hunger for change satiated with every mile covered

All in the arms of you lover

Fingers clasped

Because you’ll hold me when the bitter night is rushed away by the promising sun

And in the mountains, away from this small state

I’ll find myself again
