Tall Grass

I run far away from home

All the noises seem to drone,

But out here far away

Is where I wish to stay

-

All of this running around

Makes me feel safe and sound

I'm so far away from my house

I can know that without a doubt

-

The whole world is engulfed in the grass

But it breaks easily just like glass;

And the meadow feels so big

And I feel so small

-

Tallgrass holds on to my clothes

And I feel the wind blow

I realize that I'm lost

And that no paths are crossed.

-

I can't go home to them again

But home was back then and

Home wasn't very calming

But here the grass clings

-

And now I fun farther away from them

And now most would condemn

But I feel like the monster in the forest.

And my arms start to rust

-

The forest has songs going everywhere

But it's like they belong nowhere

So they are thrown here away

And this seems like it's not my day.
