runnowgowhyareyousittingthereLEAVE

Do you know how easy it would be for me
to embrace the fact that I'm diseased
and run away
so none of you are touched by this plague?
Cuz I'd do it.
I'd do it today.
I'd book a plane ticket
One way
Any way
Take me
North
South
East
West
Whatever is best for me
No, no, for you
cuz you don't want this
crimpled up mess infested person
come anywhere near to hurting you
cuz that's what I do right?
That's what I did?
Hurt?
Exert heartbreak on those who I love the most?
Yes.
I did.
I still do.
So, if you don't mind, I'll just leave.
I'll leave the keys in plain sight
clean my room up real nice
leave my guitar too cuz I won't pick up my pen to write anymore
The last thing to say goodbye to me will be the door
of the bank
that I enter to empty everything I have earned
into my pockets
close the door on this place in my life and lock it
hiding the key
so the only one who can ever make me come back is me
That's it
I got my ticket, money, clothes, and body
I'm sorry for the worry I'll cause
But I'll be in a safe place
I'll make sure that somehow you know
but right now I need to go
anywhere where nobody knows
who I ever was
knowing that everyone
including myself
needs to flee
away from

me
