Escape from Myself

I run,
I didn't stop,
I run for my life,
not because I do something wrong,
but to run from others laugh.

No one ever respect me,
all I do is,
run,
I don't know if it's a way to solve problem,
but whenever I thought,
the faces,
full with abasement,
I run.

You may call me fool,
but I can't help myself,
running away,
I don't know what to do,
escape from the truth,
is what I do.

Sometimes I escape from everything,
not even truth,
but myself too,
I am hurting myself,
I know I need to stick up for myself,
but I fear.

I fear of myself,
not facing my self,
I am not brave.

Even it's not a good excuse,
I just say that,
everyone said after hear what I said,
what they used to,
laugh.

Now,
I lost the track of my life,
I fear,
I am lost,
I don't know why am I running,
but I can't help myself.

Running away from your life is something that everyone feels compelled to do at some point. You are running away from your old life, to your new.

I think this is honest and just full of emotions. I think at one point in everyone's life they do want to run from themselves because they don't know themselves anymore. I know this has happened to me many times and I wish it hadn't. Even my friends started to notice the changes, but eventually you won't be afraid of yourself. You will be able to stand up for yourself though. You will be very proud once you do. Thanks for sharing.

Take back that power over your life! That fear is too intense to keep living in it! If they are laughing at you - so what? At least someone is LAUGHING. Learn to laugh even at yourself. We can be funny if we want to be! It's no crime in being funny. If someone is trying to hurt you by laughing, don't let them know that you're hurt - laugh too. They will stop hurting you, then. No one can hurt you unless you allow them to. If you fear yourself, you must find the reason why you fear yourself; determine if it's reasonable or warranted. If it is not warranted or reasonable, take the appropriate steps to overcome it - plain and simple. Conquering fear is an ongoing process - it isn't an overnight thing, or even a destination - it is a journey, but one we should all strive to take for the sake of enjoying our lives, and sometimes - even the sake of our own sanity. Much love and peace to you xxxx

I understand the poem indefinitely! I may not be much of a reviwer but I can tell you my MOST HONEST opinion is that you put your heart and soul to any work you do and it'll definitely pay off!

Good depiction of the cycle of fear, running, shame, and denial.

I feel like if I'm am that person. You put me in this body and I hear these thoughts inside my head... I appreciate how easily I was lost into this poem. Great Job Cynthia!
