Run Away

Cali Kittana

My eyes dart to the door

My breath quickens

I glance at the handle and sigh

Knowing I'm stuck here I collapse

Sobbing silently I think

What would it be like to run away

Where would I go

What would I do

Who would I be

If I would only run away

I scroll through apartments

Looking at different jobs I ponder

Could I go through with it this time

Or would I stay frozen still

Desperately I read on and on

I just want to run away

Who would I run to is the question

Would I run to no one

Or would I run to you

Should I stay exactly where I am

Maybe I'll go states away

Where no one knows who I am

I could start my whole life from scratch

Let me just run away

    Sounds like a place that gives you enough space to be creative and to hopefully be safe-so hard for young people to afford living independently-I am sure that you can prepare for that sooner than later-thank you for sharing your poem…

    Sad write
    I'm sure there is more to come from you regarding this situation and how you found yourself there
    Get it all out
    On a positive note
    At your age the world is your oyster
    Always darkest before the dawn
    Talented writer
