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
