I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
Leave everybody sleepin' in this sleepy town tonight
At the break of day
I'll be a runaway-Love and Theft
That's how I feel the majority of the time. I know you can't run away from your problems, but wouldn't it seem to make things easier to just stop caring, pack up, and disappear?? There'd be a few things I'd take with me such as the boyfriend and the dog, but I'm sorry....I'm sick of the responsibilities. I'm sick of having the fear that I'm losing my mom. I'm sick of the stress and being only 26 and having all this weight on me when no one else is stepping in to help. How come I cant use work or school as an excuse not to help out? How come I'm the one working 6 days a week, coaching 3 days a week, with a meet on Saturdays, and I'm still the one taking her to the store, doing yard work, going with her to the dr, taking her to the airport??? I'm sorry. I know I'm whining. I know life can be worse. I just need someone to help...
