No Sally today.

Kids are absolutely crazy.
Amused by the simplest things.
They run around me,
squealing and laughing.
They spin in my head.
The noises get loud.
My blue eyes turn red,
and they begin to cloud.
The sounds blur together.
I need to escape.
I've reached the end of my tether
and my world's lost it's shape.
The musical toys,
they won't stop their screaming.
I can't deal with the noise,
so I'm going to start dreaming.
I'll run from the world
and all I know it to be.
Let it all become unfurled,
so everyone's able to see.
I'll abandon every word
because talk is really cheap.
Won't get too bothered,
then maybe I'll get some sleep.
I don't need attention,
it's the last thing I want.
It would only cause tension,
and cause me to daunt.
I don't need your help,
your hand can't reach.
I'm no longer the whelp
that you beseech.
Please leave me alone,
I need time spent solitaire.
This life's my own,
I don't need you to care.
