Just Want To Be Left Alone... Poem by Philomène Perrault

Everyone around me is so loud,
So proud.
They dont even realise what they're doing to me,
They dont even realise how badly I want to flee,
Run away to the one place where I feel free.

I wish I could just escape from this world,
Just for a little bit, until my thoughts stop to whirl.
I wish everybody could just leave me be,
Until i decide I'm ready for them to see,
Who I truly am inside
Until I feel I have nothing left to hide.
