sometimes I want to run
far fitr away
and never look back
run out
on my life
to another world
a different place
creating a new identity
nothing at all like me
I want to walk in different shoes
sipping on a cup of tea
worry and stress free
there are times I wish
that I could be
on a boat in the middle of the sea
with only peace
serenity

sometimes I wish
that I could fly
like pretty blue birds
in the sky
with wind blowing through my hair
and not even care
sometimes I want to hop
right out of my skin
and just pretend
to be replaced
with a different face
and soul
perhaps younger
or maybe old
but wise
with wisdom seen in my eyes
and knowledge heard
in my sighs
