So the pen meets the paper each night,
Put it all in hope to get it right.
Sorrows lay under the bed,
shadows that surround my head,
with the things I can't understand.
I desperately hold out my hand
for someone to hold,
to help me stand, and stop the cold.
I've been up and down this road for a while,
trying to hold on to a smile,
think I've been going round for sometime,
trying to follow a straight line.
I find I'm just waiting, as years go by,
can't help wondering, wondering why?
So I run. Run with no goodbye at all,
there's no one to pick me up when I fall.
I have no more words left to say,
so I'll just run away from today.
Running against the wind, trying against the tide.
Too weak to go on, too many tears I have cried
I turn, no one's near me, no one can hear me.
No need to hide my fears, no one can see.

ya know as much as I hate to actually say this. There is no use running because everywhere ya run those shadows are hot on ya trail.
Good luck in the contest -

I can see why this earned a gold trophy! Great write, and congratulations on the trophy. My favorite two lines are "Running against the wind, against the tide. Too weak to go on, too many tears I have cried." ...Beautifully put. I love it. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
