On the Run

Im lost and alone, but I'm to blame I ran away because of my shame Too late to rethink, I should move on It catches me , though not for long Heavily medicated it seems unreal I push forward so I don't feel I'm terrified, I can't stop running I'm afraid of who I'm becoming Im that girl who really needs Anything if addiction it feeds from house to house I stay I barely survive each day Wanted by the cops,I have to hide I don't want to; but I stay inside my health is diminishing, I can see when I look in the mirror it isnt me my skin is pale and my arm are bruised my hair is greasy; i look used I don't know how much longer I can't become any stronger A day blends into one week always about the drug I seek because I chose to run away I am left alone, forever to stay
