Running Away

I should take this pain, Bury it, Never to be seen again

Where no one else could find it, I should accept my fate



I should be fine, Understand that I can’t change what’s done

Live my life like nothing happened, I shouldn’t cry for long


I'm running away, running away from reality.
I can't stay; if I do I won’t retain my sanity.
I can't be myself, or else I'll choke on my own tears.
If I leave the door a little open the pain may rush in with all my fears.

If I don't detach myself from all this madness I will scream.
Won’t you be kind and wake me from this dream?

No, I shouldn’t question God; He knows what He’s doing

I’m a weak and mortal being, I’m ignorant and wrong


And why am I upset? Its okay two months at best

Let it go, this is unhealthy, You should give it a rest


I'm running away, running away from reality.
I can't stay; if I do I won’t retain my sanity.
I can't be myself, or else I'll choke on my own tears.
If I leave the door a little open the pain may rush in with all my fears.

If I don't detach myself from all this madness I will scream.
Won’t you be kind and wake me from this dream?

Author notes

One day after much frustration from people who cannot relate to my pain, I wrote this poem trying to vent. I know that there are times when we all feel misunderstood. When we feel like no one cares and we're alone. This was a poem in which I wrote some of the things people have told me, not from those who've tried to help me, because I truly appreciate all that have been there for me(you all know who you are) but from those whose words I couldn't understand; from those words that hurt....And then, I wrote my own response that sometimes screams in my head. The one you rarely hear, the one that still remains...

Please tell me what you think

    I am learning more about pain all of the time since I had my stroke and can no longer walk. What often goes through my head when I pray is: "My grace is sufficient for you." I like your poem a lot and can relate to your pain.
