Running from my pain

I'm running from pain

Standing on the platform waiting for 
The train 

I have got a ticket to nowhere im just
running from my pain 

I have not planned my route and I have
No place to stay.

I'm just catching the fist train that pulls in
And I hope to fade away 

They say don't run away away from it
Stay and face your fear

But the only way I can forget my pain is by using Drugs and beer.

I have all what I need packed into a
rucksack 

I have told no-one where I am going
As I am not planning on coming  back

 Stay away from people that's how 
It has to be

If no one knows where I am then the pain of the past cannot find me.

Don't run too far. You may want to go back. This is a lovely poem.
