Try The High Life Poem by jess jayne

I walk this street,
where no one knows my name,
for they don't know my face.

I'm a million miles away,
I just want to be home,
For baby i ran into the night,
I got scared of your power over me.

I'll run to the land of dreams,
To see what I left behind,
To find the grass,
Isn't green on the other side,
Baby I wasn't born to run.

I'll walk this street,
with no name,
for no one knows me here,
Just another face in the crowd.

Baby,
Life here is tough,
Just a dollar for another pound,
Maybe I should see my dream,
Was always at home.

Yh,
I tried the high life,
But fell on the floor,
This town just wasn't small enough,
For me to call it home.

So i'll run back to you,
I'm not scared anymore,
For your power is kindness,
Baby I think i'm home.
