Hiding away from the house of pain
running away from a certain death
learning to live all alone

The cold bits through the thin sweater
and tears stream down my face from the wind
indside I feel nothing anymore

Everything looks like a book
unreal to the naked eye
and I'am just a stranger in the backround
of someone elses story

The words they spoke echo in my head
"you are worthless"
"a terrible mistake"
never hearing loving words from your mouths

Here I'am
with a ticket to my life
living a life of shame
all alone in the cruel world

Theres no turning back
I've looked towards my future
and seen my outcome

My life may be worthless
and nothing good will come to me
but at least I will live happier without your rules

I won't experience another day where I cry in pain
I won't feel like I'am a lost cause
and I won't hear your painful words

I won't cave in to your opinions
and I won't cry over you now
I'm holding my head up high
as I sit here
and say goodbye

This is such a sad story. I'm assuming (and hoping) that this doesn't apply to you. It's sad that anyone has to run away from anything, but one thing that everyone should know is that there was and never will be a life that is worthless. Each and every person is of precious worth to our Heavenly Father, the One who will always love you and be with you. You aren't worhtless to Him.

I know your pain and only in the depths of my darkness and depression did I see that I'm not worthless! You aren't either! You were created and given a life for a reason. And just because your parents;I'm assuming, can't realize that doesn't mean you should ignore it. Take your talents and prove to them otherwise! If they still choose to maintain their behavior, then *sad to say* you don't need them! they're only holding you back from success with each and every insult! Have you ever told them how you feel..How they make you feel?? I think maybe they need to know! My heart is with you and if you ever wanna talk e-mail me at StarPryncess17@hotmail.com! keep your head up friend! Love Always~*~Jessica~*~

Thank you all for your replies, I just wanted to let you all know that it isn't a poem about myself, fortunatly. But I wrote it because I wanted to try to understand what the homeless feel like and understand why they chose to go and live like that. I appreciate all your comments. Thanks again for your replies.smiles  poe

well, now that i know this isn't about you, i can spare you the cheering-up-speech. but i have written stuff like this and i feel a great big ol' connection to this piece. for not having been in the situation and only imagining yourself there, trust me, you truly have captured the essecnce of what a runaway feels. i don't know about a homeless person, but a runaway? yes, most definitely.
well written. well done.

We all got our demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.
