Sometimes we all just want to run away,
to the safe little havens over the hillside to a bitter sweet escape,
we all know those safe places we want to go to just be free,
where life instead only forces us down to fall on ones knees.
We all are sick of lies and just hanging on to dreams that never come true,
depression causes anger inside pushing us further away from a life we thought we knew,
I was once taking on the world when I was so delighted to just be me,
today it is only a complicated memory that left me jaded and looking out over this dark sea.
People telling us that everything happens for a reason and for us to be strong,
thats the biggest lie we have ever heard we all will tell ourselves,
we never realize that time tends to heel even the darkness wounds,
everything we must learn turns into a balance act thats always reoccurring.
I'm not just another facile, self centered girl,
I am just me a girl with ambition and determination that sometimes sends life into a whirl,
one day when I'm long gone, you my friend will read this poem,
then you'll see life should only be based upon ones on choices and no others
