Don�t Run Away

About work..

Don’t Run Away
I see their feet lift from the ground
And they run from everything
From their problems,
People that love them,
Their past and present
And their lives.
I slowly watch this through my eyes
My heart sinks every time
I see their cuts all over
What made them do it
Why wasn’t anyone there
How did this happen
Who can help save them
Besides medication..
It can only do so much
I see them in their shell
I try to get underneath
But I can’t ever get inside
Its just too hard to do on my own
When they come to see me
They seem happy as can be
But when they leave
The smile is wiped away with memories..
I only wish they could keep the feeling
Of feeling like they are alive
And the little things they do are noticed
Don’t run away anymore
Just face it with everything you got
And I’ll catch you if it knocks you down
You can defeat it
Your way more stronger
I know we can make it if we try..

A poem of encouragement and strength. This is one to print out and re-read when you are down. For a guy this is a like a Rocky flick. As always QP i love this piece. It read like a fight song as well. Nice write.

o wow, i really like this one. it reminds me of my therapist. as a recovering cutter, it shows it from a different angle, from another person's perspective, as they see the scars made. it is a sad poem, full of emotion & pain, but its also uplifting, gives me hope that there are still people who actually care about other people. and i ABSOLUTELY love that last line, the 'we' part. this is a beautiful brilliant write.

This is a really powerful write here of feelings.
The only person who can help you is "You"
I like this it is a very profound write
WIth a clear message.

Very beauitful. It makes me think a lot about people, on both ends of it. Why people do it and why people don't help. great write!

I like it, great poem,deep and pwerfull.
The line befor the last (Your way more stronger) I think should read (Your way stronger) or ( Your way more strong)
But what do I know?
Well done

The problem is deep inside in the form of feelings caused by certain events that are also deep inside in the form of memories. It's hard to recall something that has hurt one so, it means to relive. Another Excellent piece showing your compassion and humanity, Kylie! Keep on writing!
