Escape

I can’t stand it anymore
I’m walking out that door
I’m escaping from this place
I don’t need your sympathy

Why can’t you see?
All I want to be is free
Can’t you see me cry?
Don’t you hear my plea?
Please won’t you listen to me?
People always in my face
Try to tell me what to do
I can’t stand it anymore
I’m getting away
Come find me

You always stress me out
You don’t understand my needs
I need a place to be
Alone without you

Why can’t you see?
All I want to be is free
Can’t you see me cry?
Don’t you hear my plea?
Please won’t you listen to me?

People always in my face
Try to tell me what to do
I can’t stand it anymore
I’m getting away
Come find me

You cling to this love
Like it’s the oxygen we breathe
You make me sick
Get away from me

Why can’t you see?
All I want to be is free
Can’t you see me cry?
Don’t you hear my plea?
Please won’t you listen to me?

People always in my face
Try to tell me what to do
I can’t stand it anymore
I’m getting away
Come find me

"Try to tell me what to so" - was the only part that was confusing... unless it rhymes with a shortened version of "anymore". Great otherwise.

there is so much of agony in the poetry...it depicts the need to get away from someone...showering all the harshness, hiding the pathetic feeling inside.

wonderful writing!!
