Wanna Get Away?

I have a kind of mental block
Keeping me in its vice-grip hold;
Even though the day is so bright and sunny
Everything just feels so hard and cold.
There’s something I want to do
I can’t put my finger on it
I’ve tried so many different things
But it seems that they just don’t fit.
I even tried to draw today
But as my pencil touched the paper
My wishes flew away;
The constant stream of thoughts seemed to taper.
My earlier attempts to write were just as bad
All I got were scattered bits of sound
The words were nothing for they had no meaning;
I put down my pencil and pushed it around.
I have an idea why I’m so overcome;
So much fear and anxiety
And I think in almost any other case
This would become some twisted piety.
I’m scared that I’m failing
In all the things others see in me
I see myself just falling away
And hiding where I can be free.
I drown myself in stupid things
Blasting my ears with music, my eyes with games
Temporary, I know, but fun while they last,
And things like rhyming games with names like James.
I hate the responsibility of being me
I can almost say I’m sick of myself.
I’m not quite sure who I’d rather be
All I know is that it’s someone else.

Greatly expressed, it's like me... I've always wanted to be someone else, someone better, someone who could do things correctly. Or someone who had a happier life. But I learned that's something I can't change, only work towards. :)

| Oh, man. I relate to a lot of the feelings expressed here, especially the idea of hiding where you can be free. Sometimes, when I am alone, I feel the most free. I give you props. |
