I wanna sneak out,
slip through the back door—
just disappear,
leave the weight of it all behind.
These hardships
are heading straight for me,
and I've never been brave.
Always hiding,
always folding beneath the pressure.
I just wanna sneak out.
Last night,
I dreamed I was lying on the beach,
soft sand cradling my back.
The ocean crept closer,
each wave a whisper.
I didn't run.
I let her take me
in her cool, endless arms.
I closed my eyes,
and for once—
peace filled my heart.
