Far and away, I've come
and so much was left behind,
memories that I've held unto
and moments that slipped away..
A whole life was forced before me,
a life of uncertainty,
a life of pressure
a life that was promised,
but the life I dread..
Then I slowly lose what I've held onto,
Like life creeping away
from my very existence..
Painfully draining my strength,
The strength I needed
to get out of this unfamiliar
circles of confusion..
It leaves me hopeful
for a better flow,
But stuck in these circles
with no door to get back into..
I look far into the horizon,
where the sea kiss the sky,
wishing
I was there, far from it all..
far from the madness
the madness
that was eating me alive,
but slowly I realize
that the madness
was me..
So I scream, I cry,
I throw my arms
til they're weak and numb..
Then I ran..
Ran far and away..
Miles and miles
of cold concrete, asphalt,
sand and soil..
wondering where my feet
would bring me..
Hoping to find peace,
looking for sanctity,
while holding onto
the little sanity
that was left of me..
Dreaming to find contentment,
Hoping to find home..
