I'll run away tomorrow... Run away...just away.. I'll get in my car, fill the gas tank up.. with my last 20 dollars.. and drive. Forget school, forget grades, forget meaningless astronomy, and Math Classes.. They're not for me Forget this English degree, I don't want to major in English. I don't want to sit in class... day after DAY.. I just want to write. I just want to sing. I just want to live. _Steady hands on the wheel. Music keeps me company... My gaze, fixed on the future, the road, and my dreams dancing on the horizon. Catch them! Speed up! So amazing! SO amazing! Driving, that is. I have control.. I can control my own destiny.. I can go wherever I want. I am free! I am free! All the way to New York, I'll drive. And then I'll stop, and then I don't know. I'll just be. Just be there. Living. Ouch! The thud of reality slaps me in the face. My math teacher asks if there are any questions. Oh God, do I have questions! Why am I here? There's one. But he can't answer that. I'll run away tomorrow. No particular place really.. Just away.. They'll all wonder where I am. Just look to the horizon. That's where I'll be.. Shaking hands with setting sun... So amazing! So truly amazing it will be.
Reason for writing:
Just thoughts while sitting in one of the many pointless classes
I attend.
