Have you ever wondered
What if I ran away?
Would they even notice
If I suddenly went astray?
Suppose they took a day
Would I then be easily found?
Or how about a week, a month,
Perhaps then they will believe
That I am simply gone
Not worth their time
But maybe they would worry
And search until I'm back
Asking what had happened
Curious as to why.
And what then if I told them
That it is them I tire of
The strife that they are causing
By merely being blind.
They are blind to my emotion
Unaware of my hopes and dreams.
And yet they suppose they know me- understand me
So they tell me I'm insane.
Still yet they do not notice
How far away I go before returning home.
Long now have I wandered
So far have I gone
It seems I am forgotten
Where once I called home
But only for a time
And now I hear them calling
It only took a year
