Runaway

Running doesn't always fix the problem.

When the going gets tough

The tough get going

And they runaway,

They runaway from everything they  once knew

Scared from the fear of never finding true love

Or ever finding peace with themselves,

So they runaway and never look back

Because to them its safer to run and hide

Rather than face the truth...

Really random.. I had no inspiration to write this.

Gosh, i can relate to this poem so well! Amazing. =D Its short, simple, but goes straight to the point. I've always had these moments when I wanna run away..but yes, running away doesn't always fix the problem. Its simply just not confronting what you need to do. *sigh* This is an eye-opener and an inspiring poem at the same time. Great write though! ^o^

[DontBlink158]

sometimes its better to run, but most of the time people need to stand up and face the cold hard facts, even though we may want to run.

It's interesting that you say "the tough get going" and then say that they "runaway" (which should be two separate verbs when used as a verb, by the way). When I first read this, my reaction was that it didn't make sense for someone tough to run away from their problems, but on second thought, it takes a lot of courage to stand up and start over again. Even the most determined of people have fears. Made me stop and think.

Short but effective, a fine poem.

I don't know. Can't run away from everything. Face the truth is the logical answer unless is dangerous and you can be hurt. Problems will follow. Better to stand your ground and go forward on the right track. Can't runaway from life. Life will catch you. A excellent poem. Raised many good questions.
