When You're Alone in an Empty Hallway

Do you know that feeling when you're alone in any empty hallway?
That feeling of a tingle of excitement?
You have the sudden urge to sprint down the hallway,
Scream until your lungs burst
Like you never could before.
That's what it's like when you have a fresh start.
You can be anyone you want to be,
Do whatever you dreamed of doing.
But do you?
Do you actually dash down the empty hallway and shout?
Or do you just stand there
And wish you could?
