Runaway

Running doesn't always fix the problem.

When the going gets tough

The tough get going

And they runaway,

They runaway from everything they  once knew

Scared from the fear of never finding true love

Or ever finding peace with themselves,

So they runaway and never look back

Because to them its safer to run and hide

Rather than face the truth...

Really random.. I had no inspiration to write this.

Gosh, i can relate to this poem so well! Amazing. =D Its short, simple, but goes straight to the point. I've always had these moments when I wanna run away..but yes, running away doesn't always fix the problem. Its simply just not confronting what you need to do. *sigh* This is an eye-opener and an inspiring poem at the same time. Great write though! ^o^

I can see the randomness clearly. Maybe you could fuzzy up some of the transitions to make them appear smoother. It reads rather awkwardly. I've noticed that you seem to like to have pink as you text color and I'm going to tell you that its rather obnoxious. If your poems were put into a book they would more likely to be black than pink, or red, or blue, etc.

Yeah! You speak for us all who don't want to face the truth, great poem, just a minor mistake:
The tough get(s) going(,)
Other than that, the peom was great overall. :)

I dunno, I think depsite wanting to run away in most cases everything will eventually come back to haunt you. Great write.

Randomness is good sometimes like this poem. Well done with this short and simple poem of what we all do sometime when fear strikes us of any kind. Excellent job with this poem making me think and its so interesting.

Something inspired you even if it was you letting your thoughts express themselves. I think much of poetry is just that. Our insides (heart and soul) telling us something. Writing it down shares it with more than ourselves. Hence: A writer!
I enjoyed your poem.
