Running Away

I am taking off and trying to run
Away as far as I possibly can.
I want to go towards the sun

And throw away the set plan
As I go there. I want you to come
With me because it is better than

Being alone. Every crumb
We leave behind does not matter.
It brings me comfort with your thumb

Against my cheek. Let the ashes scatter
And for me to stop running. I want to
Start walking and to enjoy the splatter

Of the colors of the sunset that skew
With my head no longer. Every piece
Of rubble is another reminder for you

And I to slow down. Let us cease
This disarray and getting away
From our problems. Every crease

Is old and boring. I want you to stay
With me for this long journey
Ahead of us. Nothing should weigh

Heavily on our minds. Our worry
Goes out the window along with
Everything else. Let the unworthy

Things go. I am no wordsmith
To explain the things in my head,
But everything is more than a myth.

I want to leave my same old bed
Behind and sleep in a brand
New place. This new thread

We are walking on feels like sand
Beneath our feet. It is no small
Defeat to walk and to stand

Among those who saw me as a doll.
I am not breakable and I will not crack.
Do not back me up against the wall

Otherwise I will let everything black
Out and fade away. Then I will
Never be willing to ever come back.
