"I want to run"
So do I.
Anything to get away
I want out
I'm sick of this delay
Though it's not my own delay
That holds me here
I've run as fast as I can
I'm held back against my will
"I want to hide"
If I can't run
I will hide
When I can't run
I hide
Curl up in fear
I hate being here
But in my mind I'm still running
Still escaping
Torn between sadness and joy
Joy of what I'm imagining
Sadness of reality
"I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside"
I'm pushing
I'm kicking
I'm trying to break out
I'm thrashing
In my mind I'm destroying
I'm crashing
I'm smashing that wall
I'm breaking big blocks
I'm turning it to dust
Full on anger
Beating with all my might
Adrenaline infused
Strength
And destruction
Tearing it down
And here it comes
Tumbling down
Smashed to dust
To scatter in the wind and be lost
Never to stand again
Gone with the past
As absolute as time passing
In my mind that's what I do
But only in my mind
I want more than anything to do that
I want to do that
I want to
"I want to reach out and touch the flame"
Burning desire
The flame burns on
It's so close
But I can't touch it
It's right in front of me
Dangling tauntingly
To grab hold of it
I try
But the invisible restraints hold me back
I scream
I pull with all my enthused might against the ropes
But they hold me fast
And my attempts are in vain
All
I
Want
Is
Out
"I want to feel sunlight on my face"
I want it to be ended
I want to be at the finish line
I want to throw my arms back
Close my eyes
Lift my face up
And feel the sun
Feel the warmth after so long
After so long trapped
To be free
"And see the dust cloud disappear without a trace"
I want it gone
It's that wall
I want the dark dust gone
With nothing left
No traces
Utterly destroyed
A figment of the past
No more to be
Never to be resurrected
To be remembered, but to never hold any power over the present
Or the future
So it's just like this there
Exactly the same?
Then I want to go where
The streets have no name
