Walking Away

one step forward
one step backward
i was held back
from acting on my thoughts

feeling restless
caged and battered
often i wondered
when will i break free

and finally
my mind is at peace
as it feels right
to walk away

Run No More

i'm running away
from it all
i'm running towards
the unknown

i'm leaving behind
everything that has
tormented me
gifting me with pain

i hung on for too long
hoping to see the best
but all i got in return
is a shattered world

so i started running away
as fast as i could
even before i made up my mind
as to where i was heading

i think i should slow down
to walk the next few steps
while i decide
where i should be
