Escaping everything

RIGHT.
Ok, that’s it.
No more.
I’m going to run
And you’re going to wait for me.
Sit, stay, don’t move.
 
NO!
Don’t get up
Don’t take a step
Don’t run to grab the keys
‘Here’ is not somewhere I want to be.
Sit, stay, wait.
 
STOP.
I need to escape
I need to take a breath
I need to run myself ragged
Feel the wind in my hair, numbing all else
Sit, stay, wait.
 
For goodness sake, just stay there!
You know I need this.
You know it’s not forever
You know I’m not a fantasy
And that I will come running back.
 
Can’t you just wait for me?
I need to be alone.
I need to run, away
I need to forget everything
Just for a couple of days.
This wolf wants to be wild again
Let me out of my cage
I’ll come right back
I promise
