Therese Bacha Poet Prose Poetry

How I Wish To Run Away

How I wish to abandon my guilt
to live in silence,
without leaving any trace or space
for anyone to catch me.

How I wish to run towards the ocean
drown my emotions, 
my past memories thorough,
through the distance.

How I wish my priceless love dwells
in the silence of the night,
when my teary eyes feels
my children`s undying spark
without any doubt.

How I wish to abandon 
my speechless fear,
run to unlock my love
lock them in the unknown,
to remain honest to my fame.

Everything is crumbling, 
my inner fatigue,
my wounds that speak
without hearing a sound,
and my scars that smell bitter.

How I wish I could race away
as I want to live far from whom
I`ve become.
Take a boat in a rush,
even with a risk of drowning
remains in my mind.

How I wish I could dream 
of a wider dream
to wake up with me in the morn,
stand amazed and free again
to rearrange my life, 
hide my biggest secret
and piece together 
my coming days.

How I wish I could run away.

Russell Sivey December 20, 2014 at 7:15 AM Sometimes I want to run away from this life when it gets too burdensome! Just to get some time alone would be special! Not that I'm saying I don't want to be with my family, because I love them more than anything, but at times I just want to be alone, and to run away! So I understand this poem completely! I really enjoyed reading this illustrious write here this morning! What a fantastic piece! Great Work!!
