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^

awww...i know this situation...sometimes..you just cant assume the situation you are in! and you just run! short and strong poem!

Sometimes facing the truth...can make one run. It causes one to stand back, review the situation, then take action and do what is needed at that moment in time. We all have a breaking point when enough is enough...and turning our backs and going is the best way forward.

As you say yourself it lacks inspiration, however I see a talent that has yet to reveal itself. I would like to read a piece you actually spend an hour on or something.

Unfortunately we runaway or avoid all to often.
I've been known to runaway myself when being
pursued. I get that deer in the headlights look
and run. Ha! Great poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

facing the truth is hard when you are fearful or your heart being shatter and trampled upon leaving dreams crumpling at two pairs of feet. Well stated.

An amazing bit of insight. I actually made little quotation marks in the air as I read this; around the word "Tough". While you may have felt no inspiration to write this, you spoke a truth that needs be said. Excellent!

I like how you can write short, yet so wonderfully structured and themed poems on virtually anything. I enjoyed the first two lines: such a classic phrase. The theme is so true, yet so depressing to think about, but in the way you put it, the runaway seems to find its place. Thanks for sharing this!

Even though this might have been your least inspired poem, like you said. This was nonetheless, another well written and thought provoking poem. Great job!

[Fontane Wong]

Well penned. Another fascinating piece of you! :)
