He was a lone rebel
A fugitive from reality
His escape was not one
Like running away
You find in tabloid stories
People did not try to stop him
Because they did not understand
What he was running away from
It was not the family
Who were villains in his life?
What people did not understand
That he had to decide
What he was running from
The little voice inside him
Said, stay where you are
All will be well
But he wanted to be
Where no one knew
Who he was
He wanted to escape from himself.
