Run, Throw No Caution to the Wind

Run, Throw No Caution to the Wind

A Poem by Lori

Basically, this is about running away and all that teenage drama lol. Song// Running Away by Greyson Chance

"
Planned it out to sneak out
Last night, told myself not to worry
In the morning, you were sitting at the stairs
Desperately calling out my name
Took one look & ran down to escape
Couldn't find my shoes
Like you were trying not to let me go
But I ran as fast as I could, was it wrong?

Maybe I'm just 'a stupid angst teenager of the world'
Or was I trying to do the right thing?
I'm not doing this to try to fit in
You're not a dog trying to chase me, don't say so
You're not a speck of dust I can't respect
Count my wrongs and I'll count yours
Why do I spend the night
Trying to make this right?

Yet I still went, until you vent
Woke early, left quickly & softly
Couldn't find the key cause it's too early
Footsteps lightly dance with the adrenaline rush
To get out hush, hoping they wouldn't catch us
Escaped, but you found me, cause we're too stupid
Yelled my name, told me to go back home
Sat on the motorcycle, sped away with loud, cursing, angry voices

My mouth was shut, I never talked back
Said I'm being influenced, it's all their fault
I was too young, needed to be careful
Didn't put the blame on me but so mad at me
Threatened to hit, holding a long stick
The whole lecture I was too shocked
I was holding back, trying to keep my face blank
Though sometimes I wanted to laugh or react

Don't expect, cause it leads to disappointment
I'm not perfect, and you're not either
Told me I could do what I wanted when your dead
Said you'd give me away, bring me back
If i don't obey, if I don't listen or change my ways
Easy for you to say, but I know I will stay
Just a bump on the road, the way is broad
Times change, life won't wait, just carry on
