Somewhere far away

I just want to get out of here
Move somewhere far away
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my past

I can't stand this place any more
I want to start over
I am sick of all the memories
This place brings up

I want to get out
And leave behind
Those who have caused me pain

You say you'd miss me
But why would you?
You don't pay attention to me now
You wouldn't even notice if I was gone

I just want to start again
Where nobody knows me
I want to let go of the past
And never come back

Don't pretend to care
I know you don't
You never did
So you can stop lying now
Stop lying to me
And stop lying to yourself

I can't get you out of my life
It's people like you
I need to get away from
Don't try to follow me
I will just run faster

I want to pack up my stuff and leave
And when I do I won't look back
I will never look back

Don't pretend you miss me
The way you pretended
That you were my friend
I won't miss you
So don't waste your time

I have been stuck
In this city so long
I can't take it anymore
I need to get away
And I'm not looking back


I wrote this poem in April 2009, but I'm just posting it now because I didn't have a blog then. It pretty much describes how I feel almost all the time.
