I want to run away, far, far away to a place I only can hurt myself.

To a place that no one knows my past, my lover, and me

I want to go to a place where I can ignore the screaming, the shout of abuse, and the tears I have experienced

I want to run to a place where I can only be me, where I can smile and scream happiness

I want to go to a far away place and share my love with the person who truly deserves it

I want to be alone and share my surroundings with myself, let my heart and soul take over all of my emotions, let my mind be creative with writing and music flowing thru my body

I want my voice to shine like a bright star in the moonlight sky

I want my writing to come from my heart and not my mind, which is filled of thoughts of the past

I want to leave this place; leave the cars that honk to the elderly, leave the parents that shout and scream violence, leave the one guy that doesn’t know how I really feel about him, leave the houses that are breaking inside, leave the friends that once told me the truth, leave everything behind

I want to leave this negativity behind, and run far away to a place that I only know of

I want to run far, far away to a place that I can wash the tears and sadness out of my life

I want to runaway from myself

I can truly understand what you’re saying because I feel like that all the time. Most of the time I’m like ‘’f’’ this I need to go. But I can’t because of the position I’m in, I wish someone would understand how I feel but no one does, not even my own mother. I live in a world of hate and sin and I wish I could just get and go all the time but that obstacle is always in my path. Sometimes I wish I could just go back in time to change my life around and never have turned in the wrong direction like my brother did. But I followed his footsteps and look where I’m at now. I don’t blame it on him for what I am now. I blame myself for wanting this life for myself. I chose your story because I feel like out of all the other stories I’ve read yours is the one that really touched me and meant something to me. I read it about three times to really get what you are saying and it reminds me of how I feel most of the time. My favorite line from your writing is when you said,  ‘’I want to leave this negativity behind, and run  far away to a place that I only know of I want to run far, far away to a place that I can wash the tears and sadness out  of my life I want to run from myself’’. There was nothing I disliked about your story because it was very touching and I could really relate to it. This story is about a girl who is tired of being alive and tired of all the problems of life and wishes that she could go to a quieter place where she could hear her thoughts and she could talk to god.
