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

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.
Thank you
