Lost

Tony36

Ran away

Run away

Ran even more

Hurting

Abused

Emotionally torn

 

Physical scars

Tears rush down his face

He had to get out

Out of that place

 

Away from those thar were supposed to love him

Turns out all they wanted was to play games

The kind now loving parent or sibling should play

 

If you refused to play you were beat

And beat bad

Blood flowed

Tears poured out

The salt stings in your wounds

Still they beat you into submission 

Then when finished 

Left you in a bleeding heep on the floor

 

So, yes he Ran away

To start a new life

To get away

To survive

    We all got to do what we have to do. There are feelings of abuse and bullying in this poem and out of fight of flight flight is chosen.

          A wonderfully written little tale of liberation here Tony36, full of gothic like imagery and sadly, ever so relatable.

          Sometimes a fight is futile, for a dire situation cannot change, if a person who is the cause of such misery cannot change themself, so for your own sanity, to flee, is the only option left.

          I imagine upon the very second of such an escape, Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" would play loud and proud as the soundtrack.

          Bravo, and I hope that all is well.
