Sigh


Sometimes you just want to get away. Get away from the world. Get away from everything. Get away from people; get away from the words they say Get away from every sound, every noise, and every vowel holding you back Get away from the negative comments or feedback Get away from the peer pressure Get away from living up to everyone else’s expectations because you don’t want to look like a failure Get away from having to be something you’re not’ Wouldn’t that just be a perfect world? Where you can be yourself and not get judge? Not get judged for that fact that you love political science Not get judged because you want to wear fake hair, eyelashes and make up Not get judged because you rather sit in the house all night and read a good book Not get judged because instead of being the cool person that all your friends know you to be, you actually want to be nice and not bully that boy who sits alone in school everyday You just want to be in a safe place Where you can walk outside and not have to think twice about the outfit your wearing Where you can be seen as normal even though you’d rather play tennis than be on the block all day playing ball Not be annoyed by your friends because you rather be cuddled up in the house than be on the ave, getting into trouble with your friends Wouldn’t that just be great? Just to get away ..
