Analysis of Running Away.



Don't you just sometimes wish one could just run away.
Away from all the problems, the fears, the busybodied, the tears.
The crushes and hindrances, enemies and men.
But what then?
If we hide under our blankets, away from the world,
And act oblivious to all of the people and just ignore it all,
What will happen if everyone does so,
Runs from their fears, hides their emotions
As though they'll disappear?
Who said ignorance is bliss, they're alarmingly wrong.
So instead of disguising one's feelings in a lengthy song,
Rather than running away to foreign lands like Hong Kong,
One must share their feelings with someone.
To just tell them,
For being simply your feelings, shan't they not call you wrong?
