Run Away! Poem by Kelsey Decker

I've shut the door
Cleared my mind and thoughts
Put it all behind me
No more will it destroy me

Go as far as I can
Never to return to this place
These things called emotions
Always in my way, blocking

I can never get anywhere
Traped with these feelings
That never leave, always returning
When I least expect

I must go, and leave
Run away as fast and far
As I can get away from these emotions
For they are always causing trouble

I can't bare them no more
Always destroying me
Every step of my way
Never relesing me this grip
That they have on me

It's like chains holding me down
Not letting me go, so trouble some
So I must run, run fast and far
To get away from these emotions

No more do I need them
Must throw them away so I can be
Be in peace without pain
Now I must run, leave this place

Closing the door behind me
I leave, chains on floor
Emotions locked away forever
Never to be seen again.

May it be I am free
With nothing holding me back
Now and forever on the run
From these emotions inside
Free from disaster and pain.
