This poem identified within me, a rebirth. I was 18 and I was trying hard to break free from an overuse of marijuana. I was, the night that I penned this, standing in the parking lot of an Irving all night diner. I was alone, my head was foggy, but was slowly clearing up. I was remembering nights when I had been so drugged up that I could barely even breathe, I couldn’t think, I was ecstatic with fake joy, colors and sounds all swirling together, hallucinations, as I sat and watched my life literally flash before my eyes . The silence was deafening.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was running from life, I was running from pain, I was trying to cover all the hurt that I had, but no matter where I went, even if I went into a house, and closed and locked the doors behind me, the pain always seemed to find me. And in the end, when the morning sun came up, as my head began to clear, as I climbed outside of my wooden box of death, I would drive back to my house, to once again live another day as if I was just a typical, normal person, on the outside\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, here is the poem\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

Run Run Run away!<\/span><\/p>\n

Where ya gonna go?<\/span><\/p>\n

Find a rock as big as sea<\/span><\/p>\n

And cover life from woe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silence roams upon the earth<\/span><\/p>\n

Knocking door to door,<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing deadly winter chills<\/span><\/p>\n

Oozing through the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fleeing life and French-kissed pain<\/span><\/p>\n

Driving out into the night<\/span><\/p>\n

Placing mellow in your heart<\/span><\/p>\n

Holding on for infernal flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Screaming, soaring,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecstatic moon<\/span><\/p>\n

Covering your sorrow<\/span><\/p>\n

Climbing free from mildew waste –<\/span><\/p>\n

Cringing in sun’s ‘morrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sinking freely in the water<\/span><\/p>\n

Rising from the stone –<\/span><\/p>\n

Open eyes, and blinding light,<\/span><\/p>\n

Marching on towards home.<\/span><\/p>\n
