I Run Away

Tis a bit bout me

I run away

now and then

like a child

I've always been

I ran away when I was ten

when I heard her wish

I'd never been

 

I run away...I run away

I run away

 

I leave behind all the woe

never think just where I'll go

Even as a man I've found

I will leave without a sound

if I feel misunderstood

made to feel I'm no good

 

I run away...I run away

I run away

 

It is no-one's fault but mine

I run away, sometimes to find

I walk the sands

near the sea

and search the waves

for why I'm me

 I run away

when I'm afraid

I'll find the answer

of what I'm made

 

I run away...I run away

I run away

 

There comes a time

each ship must shore

the anchor dropped

to sail no more

What will I do...or say...or be

when there's no way

to run from me

 

I will run away...run away

I will run away

I know how you feel Rain. We all want to run away now and then. I think that's where pride and stubborness can be a good thing. That's what they want, just want you to go away, submit to their pressures and attempts to break you. That's when you dont let them win, but stand up and say do your worse. I am not affraid.

I'm so glad to see you are back, and hopefully to stay. You are always missed my friend. :)

All my love dear friend

I can relate, I'm sure others can too. I'm always trying to run away from my problems but sometimes they come back to haunt you. You can run but you can't hide. Great write, Rain.

Hmm...so you've been this way forever?

I didn't like the fact that you left again. Glad that you're back.
I hope you don't leave again.

But I don't know...

correction needed - "each ship most shore" most to must

Good write. I have been battling this same feeling all my life. It is the "fight or flight" syndrome in a way. Kudos and good luck to you.

this was a good poem. The repetition was great, i liked basically every aspect of this peice. Great Job!

This reminded me of my favorite uncle... the one my poem "Uncle Gary" is about. I love this, Rain. Another great... :)

Powerful piece because it reflects personal meaning in me. Strong as always

A great insight and life lesson... if you keep running you will never be able to find yourself... very deep and well written.

Very nice! I thought repeating the words I runaway was very powerful. It seemed to give something extra to the poem. Very good!
