Running

by Aish   Sep 25, 2007


Running...
Away from it all.
From the love and the smiles.
From the hate and the tears.

Running...
Away from it all.
With the sun on her back.
With the rain on her face.

Running...
Away from it all.
From the boy with the rose.
From the man with the gun.

Running...
Away from it all.
From the loving mother.
From the drunken father.

Running...
Away from it all.
With a song in her heart.
With a scream in her throat.

Running...
Away from it all.
To a fairytale land.
To anywhere but here.

Running...
Away from it all.
With eyes glinting bright.
With cheeks stained by tears.

Running...
Away from it all.
Not a care in the world.
Not a person who gives.

Running...
Out onto the road.
She smiles at a man.
She looks at her feet.

Running...
Infront of the truck.
Two lives so different.
Two deaths unique.

~Aish~
*Everybody dies.
Everybody dies alone.
Don't live life as you'll enter death.
Put in a bit of effort, to make that last breath be a happy one. Which girl would you rather be?*

    "infront" needs a space between it and in the last line, I think you might want to add "so" like you did in the earlier line, just my sugggestion though.

    Wow, this was very different and might I had uniquely written as in the style and writing.

    Usually I would glance first at a piece like this and think it will be a bit plain and not creative, that is my judging and I am trying to get rid of that. When I actually read this piece though, it was a wondeful display of your emotions. They way you wrote it was not repitive to the point where I would fall asleep, I don't really love love love repetition but it suited what your message was here, it really did. So although, how do I say this, although it wasn't like a graphic and containing many adjectives poem, it just struck me with a feeling, and it makes the reader feel lost with you and as someone stated above, complicated.

    Well-expressed, I am glad I read this.

    Oh, I know what I was going to say earlier, you used very simple words that surprised me and turned out to do a terrific job of describing your feelings and the scene to the reader. Well-laid out.

    Take care and God bless you!
