If i could run

Running away is what goes on in lots of kids heads. Even in mine but if you sit and think about it you wind up to scared to go. Because you know better.

If I could run I’d run far.

I’d forget what you want and who you are.

I’d leave this place and never look back.

I’d look at what I have not what I lack.

 

If I could run I’d leave this town.

I’d leave with out a word without a sound.

I’d forget my goodbyes.

I’d push away all those lies.

 

If I could run I’d never return.

I’d forget what I know and just learn.

I’d remember what’s important and nothing that’s not.

I’d be thankful for anything and everything I’ve got.

 

If I could run I wouldn’t.

I’d stay behind because I couldn’t.

I’d realize I wasn’t done.

I’d stay because I’m afraid to run.

Enjoyable poem

[Ashleyx]

i really like this one, the rythym was really good, (a little off in some spots) and the emotion flowed very well. overall very good, a very good representation of the fear of leaving.

i know this feeling - great poem

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is a chilling piece. I am face to face with the complexities of humanity.You expressed yourself beautifully. I love the poem, but I believe that having it on paper holds back the full impact of your words. There's nothing wrong with the way it's written. I just believe that if this work was spoken, it would really floor the listeners.
