The Town Without Me

When I get bigger, big enough to go somewhere by myself, I want to go to a land that’s far away.

I want to go to a faraway island. I want to go to an island that has no people.

I want to go to an island that has no pain or sadness.

On that island, I can climb a tree when I want to climb, swim in the sea when I want to swim, and sleep when I want to sleep.

When I think about the town without me, I feel a sense of relief.

I want to go far, far away.
