Time Away
Time to lose touch
Time to fade out
The world inside my head is what it’s all about
Befriending little shapes and nesting in a cloud
A place to yell your hopes and fears out loud
Don’t kick me out of my mind
I’ve been so tired all day
I need time away
You hit me with a hi
My thought bubble popped
The world inside my head came to a sudden stop
I better draw those shapes so I don’t forget
The times I had with sympathetic silhouettes
Don’t kick me out of my mind
I’ve been so tired all day
I need time away
The other kids have told me
That it’s not cool to play
I’ve stumbled on a beach carving pictures in the sand
The creatures from my dreams await all of my commands
Let’s make drawings of beasts and color outside the lines
There’s nothing off the table for these strange designs
Let’s bring these creatures to life!
