Runaway.

Here I stand, alone again,
an endless runaway. The
victim of depression and
pain for 15 years, I am
finally running out of
masks to hide my eternal
pain.

Here I stand, alone again,
an tireless runaway. No
matter what they say or
do, I am happier on the
roads than I ever could
have hoped to be back at
home.

Here I stand, alone again,
a ceaseless runaway. Starry
nights and silvery days are
all I have to occupy my
time, yet still I know that
I am happy here – an endless
runaway.

    Yay not a prewrite haha.
    The structure i do like, a lot. How each stanza ends with one word, and the first two lines repeated throughout.
    Also, the enjambment is a very good technique.
    Addressed some personal feelings and choices that define you.
    Thank you for your entry
