To get away from it all I slowly backed away, tiptoeing trying to be as quiet as I could, hoping they wouldn’t notice.
Bang 💥
So much for that idea, I didn’t see the table there….
Funny enough, no one noticed
Not a soul looked up to see what the commotion was
Everyone was too absorbed in their own lives
I stopped for a moment, surveying the scene
Ooh…I rubbed my thigh…thats going to leave a mark
With a deep breath and one last glance around at the life I’d been Iiving all these years
Everything familiar, the box I fit in so neatly that everyone told me I should be in
Closing it in my mind, sealing it shut, shipping it off with the courier
And with all the conviction and confidence I could muster
I turned around, left it all behind
With a sigh, I accepted my marching orders and was ready
My new life was waiting, and I couldn’t be happier
