Anywhere But Here

Too many memories,
Too much shit.
I gotta get
Outta this place.

Too many people,
Too many expectations.
I need some space
So I can breath.

What do you want?
What the fuck
Is it now?

Can’t you see
I have had it
With the noise
And confusion
Bearing down on me

Like cops in the
Rear view mirror?
Sirens blasting relentlessly
You’re busted!

Which way out
Will get me some
Peace? Because as
You can see,

I’m not going
Along for the ride
Anymore buckaroo,

I’m done.

So what about going left?
Naw, maybe to the
Right, make up your
Damn useless mind.

Can I get any
More lost
Than this?
I doubt it.

Can someone
Please tell me which
Way to go,
Anywhere but

Here?
