Drapetomania- An overwhelming urge to runaway

From the harsh realities of the world,

 I needed to cower,

So I did what I did- day after day,

I kept running and running until reality melted away.

In the haven where i reached,

Long grass was seeded with wildflowers.

Cheerfully shaggy trees laden with leaves hemmed the clearing,

I felt free, oh so free! And the freedom made me want to sing.

A soft breeze ruffled through my clothes,

Brushing through my hair and over my skin.

There were so many lush pretty flowers

spread across the meadow, giving off a pale yet brilliant glow!

I lay down on the soft grass

Listening to the soft hum of bees and dragonflies

I felt myself in a random meadow in France

All I wanted was to freely dance

Maybe even have a chance

 at a heartwarming real romance.

I was as calm as one could be

With the sunlight kissing face

And my dress in the dew, laced.
