Poetry: Running away

by Cate Stewart

Run away
Sometimes I'm lonely
and all I want to do
is run away
far away
run away.

And when I get lonely
when things are not okay
then I run
then I run away.
run away.

Life itself is precious
and so is all your time
and I know that if I run
the time I have is mine.

So when I can't stand
anyone and pain is all I got
I run and run and find a way
to get out of my town.
run away.

Running doesn't solve a thing
but I just cannot stay
and life is but a changing race
to go through every day.
run away.

Life itself is precious
and so is all your time
and I know that if i run
the time I have is mine.
