What I Want

I feel trapped in time,
An endless loop of deja vu,
Forever I climb,
Trying to find a different view

The repetition of life scares me,
I get that life takes time,
But I just want to be free,
I'm like a mime,
My mouth open but no words flee

I want to see what's beyond this town,
I want to see the ocean,
I want to wear a frilly gown,
I want to cause a commotion,
I want people to see me,
With a smiles on their faces,
And think "Shes so free"
I want them to ask about the different places

I'll tell them about the trees,
The Canadian snow,
And the ocean breeze,
And the building from long ago,
I want to tell them about the sunset,
The April showers,
And so many things I'll never forget,
Including the May flowers
