Leave

I want to leave,

Pack my bags and leave.

I don’t belong in this town.

I belong in the wild, big world.

I feel trapped,

In this town that I’ve grown up in.

I feel suffocated,

The same people around me.

It gets boring,

Lonely even.

I want to leave,

Pack my bags and leave.

For a place far away.

Where my soul will finally be at peace.

I feel like a burden,

On the people around me.

Who can I turn to,

In my times of need.

Where can I go when I feel like my world is falling apart?

I want to leave,

Pack my bags and leave.

For my soul does’t belong in this place

Where I currently reside.

I want to leave,

For a place far away.

To be free.

To fill my lungs with fresh air.

To be free.

To finally belong.

I want to leave,

For my soul is displeased.

I want to leave,

For my soul is in agony.

I want to leave,

For my soul is tearing apart.

I want to leave,

Pack my bags and leave.

For my soul doesn’t belong here.
