To Run Away





  

I want to run away from home

And this boring life

While the television hums

In the backdrop of every day

I dream of places and things

I haven't yet known

As I roam these 

All too familiar walls

Where their comfort

No longer satisfies

And these floors 

Are worn with grooves

From my restless feet

Gazing now out this window

And reaching as far as my eyes can see

I can't seem to find the pull

I need to be free.
