Run

When chaos reeks havoc on a young person's heart and mind, they finally have had enough and simply run with no true destination in mind but to get out.

Thump, thump

Thump, thump

The pace pulses in time with my heart

The gravel slips past beneath my feet. Life slips past beneath my feet

Close my eyes, listen to the beat

Close my heart, all I need is me

Hear the earth rotate, hear the sound

Of my feet hitting the earth;  Hear the pound.

Speedy, take flight... leave this town.

Leave this all behind, leave the heartache

New life, that's what I'll make

Away from this all, that should be a peice of cake

Thump, thump

Thump, thump

The beat of my broken heart

Keeps in time with the pulse from my wounds, covered in salt

This life was too much like a sour tart

Seemed so sweet, but once I bit in, it stung me

Now, all I want is to be free

And so I run, I flee

I need to escape this hell of a place

I'm picking up the pace

I'm going to disappear without a trace

Thump, thump

Thump, thump

The pace of my escape

Is all that will be left of me, I won't leave even a scrape

Of my existance here. No recording, no videotape

With my face nor my name

Will be found when I'm gone, what a shame.

I will be totally erased; I won't have a name.

I'm starting again, or maybe not at all

Maybe I'll run to a cliff and fall

Disappear completely, shutting myself from this deceiving world, create the ultimate wall

Between me and everything else because I'm so tired of this.

Going away, such bliss.

Thump, thump

The sound of me going, going,

leaving, leaving,

gone, so gone

I've waited to leave, to run, for so long.

awww! L! after reading this, all I want to do is give you a big hug! (I might do that on Monday, so watch out) I liked this one alot because I know how that feels. Prolly not as much as you, but we all feel it. By the way, you can run to (or with) me if you have any B * T C H troubles okies? I know how my dad makes me feel, but at least he's never around to bother me with it. you- on the other hand -are alot less fortunate.

ok, work-wise, I liked the was this *moved* you know? It was better than a simple flow, because it was almost like free versing rhyming poetry with music playing in the background. I think this was really well written. Two thumbs up!
