Away from you.

Walk away,

Run away,

Let your feet carry you away,

Far far away.

I've never been stupid enough to be brave,

. . .All i've ever been able to do

Is run Far . . .far. . .away.


Once again its dark,

Once again I'm alone,

I'm in this stupid cotton dress again,

Here comes the rain again,

I can hear my feet hitting the soaking floor again.


And this road,

It stretches out so far,

The harsh orange glow from Street lamps,

Block the stars from my view.


My trainers aren't water proof,

and my eyes aren't tear proof.

But i'll just keep on running. . .


. . .And this new road will take me

Somewhere new.

    Wow! This poem is so emotional. Sometimes I feel like I just want to run away, just keep running from this pain. I totally can relate to this piece and you know you can always run to me.
    luv
