Run Away

Another very old set of words

Run away…

STOP!

NO MORE!!

Shame…

Fed up…

Run away…

Fight…

Fight on…

It’s all you know…

Pain…

Hurt…

Cry out loud…

Run away…

STOP!

NO MORE!!

It still goes on…

No one sees…

No one cares…

Bruises…

Stripes…

Burst into tears…

Be strong…

Don’t whine…

Don’t be so weak…

Run away…

STOP!

NO MORE!!

Stand up…

Take it…

It’s what you deserve…

Be good…

Be pure…

Do what you’re told…

Don’t cringe…

Don’t cry…

Don’t fight…

Run away

STOP!

NO MORE!!

But where is there to go?

That last line is quite powerful... It's maybe an old set of words, but it's still breathing fire. :)

Thank you. In those days, I seemed to live an out of the frying pan into the fire kind of life.

Thank you. I don't know about "practical." From what I remember of when I wrote it, it was a raging decent into hell from which I saw no escape.

[Pushkar Prabhat]

maybe i interpreted it differently............! :) :)

[MomzillaNC]

Well, that's what poetry… what art of any form does… it speaks a personal story to everyone.

This is stark, real, and portrays anyone suffering any type of abuse. Powerful writing in its simplicity.
