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
