Runaway
One night, I ran away from home.
Then I felt sad and all alone.
I came to find a world that was dark and cruel.
I realized then that I was a fool.
I met and was tormented by a malicious man.
I tried to fight, but couldn't, so again I ran.
After that, I decided that I wanted to die.
But for my loved one's sake, all I did was cry.
Then, the tormenting almost happened again.
But it didn't, for I was found by some good men.
I sought out and got the help I needed.
For once in a long time, I was nicely treated.
I soon became happy once again.
For I was not alone and finally safe from vicious men.
