I know most agree with the suicide idea but I have another idea. Why couldn't it be about the killing of an abusive parent? The character "dreams of escape" but has to go home when he "realized it's getting late". He gets tired of living that way so he kills him/her ... "I've covered my tracks, disposed of the car" "I can't take the staring and sympathy" could be after the death of the parent yet no one else knows that they were actually killed by the child.

just my 2 cents...
