I
ran. Fast. Out of breath.
Lungs bursting.
Legs hitting the earth.
I thudded up the path,
around the corner,
right up the stairs
and reached the door.
I flung it open and .................
jumped off
Cold wind hit my face
I felt no pain
This was freedom
And there was no disgrace
There were no smiles
I left my sorrows behind
Detaching soul i was
And nothing around was mine
As I flew down and below
and saw the end close
desire for freedom grew
and my eyes started to glow
Thoughts sprouted in head
Bursting of them is what i dread
That load on shoulders that kept me down
I knew one day will push me & drown
O - memories start to dribble
and i trry to slowly nibble
Words are playing a random game
don’t know if its myself i can blame
The flight went on
Tears, happiness and tears of happiness
I started wondering
And life moved on by then
Lungs bursting.
Legs hitting the earth.
I thudded up the path,
around the corner,
right up the stairs
and reached the door.
I flung it open and .................
jumped off
Cold wind hit my face
I felt no pain
This was freedom
And there was no disgrace
There were no smiles
I left my sorrows behind
Detaching soul i was
And nothing around was mine
As I flew down and below
and saw the end close
desire for freedom grew
and my eyes started to glow
Thoughts sprouted in head
Bursting of them is what i dread
That load on shoulders that kept me down
I knew one day will push me & drown
O - memories start to dribble
and i trry to slowly nibble
Words are playing a random game
don’t know if its myself i can blame
The flight went on
Tears, happiness and tears of happiness
I started wondering
And life moved on by then
