** On the Run

No where to run
not a place to hide.
Feeling like the criminal
must stay on the run.

Don't smile, or say hi to
me because I won't speak
I will just pass you by.
Trust not a soul I must run.

Afraid, of every face I see
are they here to take me?
Their out there waiting, watching
must keep running as fast as I can.

Exhausted from never being able
to sleep they will find me than I
am dead for the things I said.
Must never stop running forever.

Afraid to say anymore than I have.
Can't ever get close to anyone for
getting to close they will find me.
So I will always have to RUN!

I'm glad this is light poetry, Rhonda, because it sure is no life to have to be on the run. Your poem is very well written, animated, energetic. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Caroline.

Very intense! You had my heart racing and my mind wondering what your running from and who is after you. Love Destiny
