escape!

I want to run away somewhere
where there is peace and quiet
no hollers of everyday long
no expectations,no competitions

for once i'd like to be on my own
and not an overgrown child in my parents' cradle
where there'd be no failures looking in my face
and no ugly words 'i told u so!'

i'm tired of being a doormat,a dishrag
i'm tired if trying to be someone i'm not
i'm tired of taking complaints all day long
i'm tired of being called the black sheep of all

my dreams ,my hopes were sacrificed long ago
at the altar of your wish
now i die each moment of the day
but i'm so unlucky,even then i live

i look at my doom each day
as my mind desegregates and withers away
the pent up emotions flow from my eyes
in all the darkness of the day

if i dont escape,i'll go crazy
my mind refuses to kill my body
i sit for hours with a blade on my arm
but my brain fails to acknowledge

so i'll pack my bags and run away
from this depression,anger,misery and dispair
my life beckons me from death
i'll hold on to whatever is near
