I Need To Runaway

I need to run away from darkness I need to run away from the light I need to run away from sadness I need to run away from happiness I need to run away from jeopardy I need to run away from safety I need to run away from a fight I need to run away from flight I need to run away from sound I need to run away from silence I need to run away from reality I need to run away from fantasy I need to runway from my childhood I need to run away from the parenthood I need to run away from friendship I need to run away from enemies I need to run away from the future I need to run away from my past I need to run away from poetry I need to run away from prose I need to… I need to… I need to run away from life.

I don't know if this poem is just rhetorical or true to life. If true to life, your need to run away from life will leave you with nothing. Make the best of what life offers each of us. Thank you for reading my long Coyote poem, it's length alone took courage on your part! / M

When life gets to be too much, just taking a walk can release the tension... I can relate to the feelings you've expressed here... I like the contrasts in each line of your poem. Great work! Welcome to Poetry Soup. I look forward to reading more of your work!
