Fly Away To The Big Blue Sky

In a world where your ears never get a break from noise.
I wish I could cry out for the noise to go far, far, far away
but I can't, nobody can.
It's only a thought, a dream.
As I look up to the sky, I see something out of the blue.
It takes me a while to see what it is.
But when I do see it it come down.
It's a Huge umbrella.
As soon as I grab the candy cane handle I take off into the clouds whoosh.
It's silent up there
very very silent.
As I look down everything is the size of pebbles.
Then I miss them
I miss my friends, my family, and my pets and teachers.
While I was looking down I lower more and more to the ground
until my feet touch the ground.
Now I miss the quietness
But hey that's life and that's out of are control.
Now I'm heading to school, into the bus
I mumble go away noise I walk into the screaming school
and into the chattering classroom.
As I much as I dislike noise
but I also like it too.
