Backpacker

 Moving somewhere out there
To a place where I can flee
in the shadows where I’m most comfortable
Where I’m supposed to be

Cuz i can’t handle the looks of people
on their sick disgusted face
their poor judgement,
i’ve now given up,
at trying to change their pace

at which their thoughts are moving
the way they criticize
they don’t know what they’re doing
they’ll never see me cry

But I can’t hold much longer
I’m slowly losing strength
I’m a boy who holds no power
So i must go away

I just wanna be lost
with no way of being found
They say your biggest regrets
draw the deepest of your frowns

But this move’s now long delayed
I must dodge their awful words
I can leave this town tonight
And vomit the words deterred

The faint streetlights will guide me
to a safe and quiet place
No face out there will recognize
I’ve left without a trace

I’ll fill my backpack heavy
I’ll leave this town tonight
My fears will soon asphyxiate
I’ll no longer have to fight
