PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Turn on the light so I can find the right house

For the house I once knew is completely transformed

From memories of the past to the hopes of the future

All in a weekend, my life changed in a day



I no longer remember the fake memories

They have been locked behind closed doors

New paint ready for a different story

All in a second, I'm not the same man today



I want to wake up tomorrow

I want everything to be how it was the day before

When I had more room to breathe and smile

Where routine wasn't a boring task

I want to be around the same people

The family I have missed for almost a year

The friends that have a piece of my heart

You're holding the key to the ignition

Turn it and make my new-found life start



This house seems far and distant

I am nto sure if it even exists at all

The faces have all been distorted

Are you the friend I once said Hi to in the hall?

I don't even recognize my bedsheets

This isn't my home at all



Sometimes I feel liek I need to get away

Everyone here makes me sheltered

I feel like I don't even have a face

The masks all still get thrown

I know not what to do but put them on

Then I am gone and I am surrounded

And you never know when to leave me alone



I'll drive back down to Kansas where my family stands there waiting

Where I know I'll be surrounded with hugs and congradulations

All just for being who I am

I hate this faking in this fake town

I hate the pressure all around

I want to fly off and be free

I won't be you, I'll just be me



Cry a little more

Show me how weak you really are

Tell me you love me so...

Just let me go

Let me go...

I want to fade away
