Don't Mind Me

Don't mind me,
I'm just running
Escaping into a world unknown
To you, to others, to the world
This is my haven
My books are my paradise
My characters my soldiers
The words are my riddles yet to be solved
And solve them, I will
Don't mind me
I'm just running

Don't mind me,
I'm not even here
Sitting so quietly on the computer
Doing everything I can to be hidden
I've got my problems, watch me fix them
Watch me wade into troubled waters
And come out as the victor

Pretend I'm not here,
I'm just writing
I'm just rhyming all my words together
Binding them as the screen scrolls
Tying them together with desperation
I'm trying to find the magic I once knew
I'm crying as I realize I'm much too new
I'm new to myself, who's in the mirror?
Who is that woman who just sits there and stares?
Why is she swollen with a baby inside?
This isn't how I imagined my life

Don't mind me, I'm just running
Just escaping into old pictures,
Acting as if it's funny
How changed everything is, how I'd kill to rewind
But this is the path I chose,
And I must walk down it willingly
Don't mind me though,
I'm just running.
