Is there somewhere I could just disappear

And escape all that’s gone wrong this year?

Somewhere that I can run to and hide,

Where it doesn’t matter if all I do is cry.

A place where no one can just come in –

Constantly bothering me with what they say or sing.

While there, I don’t have to listen to what people say.

I can just ignore them when they try to tell me it’ll be okay.

If I want to, I can spend the whole day doing nothing but write.

I could scream, sing, or just cry – it’s all all right.

I can do what I want, cause no one can see.

For once in my life, I can just be me.

I don’t have to live up to the standards of someone else.

I can truly just be myself.

When I’m there I’m neither skinny nor fat.

No longer am I the baseball, but rather the bat.

I can explore the world – seeing all there is to see.

I can be myself and all that I wish to be.

There’s no one to laugh and ask why I’m there,

And no one to make fun of me or what I wear.

Only I exist and no one else.

There is no one to care for, but myself.

A place like this I have yet to see,

Bt when I do, trust me, there’ll I be.
