Runaway Train

The slap of sneakers on concrete, Fill my ears with hollow sound; Like my heart it has a beat, Steady thumps against the ground. My eyes are wide, to take in any light, But not many shine in the dark. I couldnt stand another fight, Another sharp and mean-cutting remark. I stop to take a quick bent-over breath; Soon I'll start again on my run. This adreniline is like crystal-meth, It'll keep me going, when I just want to be done. My eyes open again in the night, Surveying quickly the world around. For this action I wont feel contrite, Otherwise I'd soon be burried in the ground. My jeans are ripped at the knees, My shirt-a tanktop of the color black. This need to get away is like a disease, With not an urge to ever go back. The lights shine on the road, a pale yellow-white, They catch my green-blue frantic eyes. Even with no one around, my chest squeezes tight; Afraid that they'll wake up and find me gone, though i never said goodbye. The railroad is up ahead, right beneath my feet. I reach out my hand, and feel the Runaway Train. I have one chance, I cant allow defeat. Around the handel I toss and loop my thick silver chain, And pull my self up, up and off the ground; I keep up and hold on, with one last look behind. To open the door it only takes one pound, Then im out of the wind, inside, in the darkness, blind. For a moment, I have the chance to breathe; Gone from everything I've known: No chance of dysfunctional familys, No chance of ever knowing home. Runaway Train, I've runaway, The night abducts me. The internal disorder has led me astray; my mind is clearer, soon youd see. I had but one choice left, I chose the Runaway Train...
