Atashi no Machi, Ashita no Machi

My town... tomorrow's town...

All I want to do is run away...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel really attached to this song... that is, "Atashi no Machi, Ashita no Machi" by Takahashi Hitomi. When I try to sing it, I sometimes feel like crying at certain parts. Then I saw the translations for it. Basically it's a song about someone who's running away from home for some apparent reason. It doesn't state exactly what, though... But it is clear that one verse says, "Thank you, I love you, my town || I will try my best || Somewhere beyond these skies."

But it reminds me of the times that I do feel like running away... Just... somewhere else...

Have you ever felt... insignificant in your world? You wanted to run away because nobody seemed to care about you?

That's how I'm feeling right now... I don't know why... but I just do.

But I can't run away. I'm not that kind of a person. Don't get me wrong, a part of me wants to pack my bags and take the Skytrain to a completely different city and just get a job and a house there. Live by my own rules...

But I have school, friends... family. I can't just leave them behind. Perhaps when I'm older...
