Running Away Poem by cheyenne riegsecker

My heart wants to stay but my mind will not obey,
and so I stand at the mirror all day and all night,
wondering if anyone would notice that I'm gone.
But everyone is hated in this cruel and evil place!
and swirling through my head are questions I will not ask,
but if I did ever ask them-Everyone would laugh,
on the outside I'm not perfect but to everyone else I am.
And my parents masquerade,
whenever friends are over,
pretending to be perfect.
But it is never like that when friends are gone,
and so now I run,
run away from home and I don't know where I'm going,
I always wonder if I'll ever come home,
But I don't know what I'm asking,
As I run away from home.
