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^

that's a nice poem, short but insightful and honest, a thorough piece of understanding...

This is how I felt when I was young and wanted to run away.

Sometimes a poem is an honest thought that hurts. Writing it down is like pulling out the thorn. And, this is a thorn most of us have felt; some more profoundly than others.

I feel the words. They echo in that deep well of problems without solutions, and truths too ugly to fully accept.

It's real, it's pain, it's poetry.

Well written poetry.
Cheers!
