Runaway
Am I just a runaway
Staying away from the crowds
Have I been thrown away
Shadowed by dark clouds
Gnashing from the gossip
Escape, my Sunday best
Running to my faith
Always another test
Their words are so jealous
They trample your name
They sicken my stomach
I don’t want to share their fame
Am I just a runaway
Confused by what is right
I treasure the warmth in you
In you I see your light
