Run

I wanna run

I wanna fly

I wanna ride

or even drive.

I need to get out of this rut

going in circles is making me sick

I hate it here, it'll never change

a girl in a small town, with big town dreams.

I wanna run!

I wanna face the sun

with bright eyes and rosy cheeks!

As the wind blows through my hair!

I wanna go where

it doesn't matter that I'm bi

or that he's gay

or what we think about today.

Because it who we are inside

it all depends on if you

gave up the fight

to stay alive in this

dim

sad

town.

I wanna run

far away from here

to the place in my dreams

I wanna love

someone far away from here

and know it's right

when I see it in their eyes

I wanna be allowed to dream big

even if we live small.

I wanna wash my fears away

place them high above the clouds

where they can't touch me.

I

will

run.
