I have a lot to say. I'm just a teen girl, trying to tell a story in the only way I know how.

So I'll run

I'll run until I lift

myself, my soul, off of the Face

I'll run until I feel

only the simple air and bliss

and the silence overwhelms my peace

and frightens away my pain and my terror 

forever 

Forever I'll run

and I'll leave behind

a crimson trail of my sorrow and my belief, 

all those hopes and dreams,

Thats what They called them

Let's be real.

So I'll run

I'll keep at running

and chase no one,

nothing at all

I'll run away

from myself and from You,

scared and brave

no one 

follow me

The author's comments:

This was one of those spur-of-the-moment type writings, where I was just sittng on my couch and had way too many feelings to get out. This poem does not have to relate to any one specific issue, that's what's great about it. Any one person reading this can relate it to any one of their own personal problems, and no one will ever have to know what it means to you.
