Running,

hiding,

watching silently,

i’m free finally,

listening,

wishing,

wanting,

love and kindness,

someone with words and guidance,

a home of warm smiles,

i would walk millions of miles,

i would walk,run,fly,even if it took forever,

i would do anything to make it better,

anything to escape.


and i’m still here

locked up

so many tears

wanting to be free

look at the sea,

how it stretches for miles,

like broken hearts in piles,

it never ends,

wanting to return again,

all the pain from today,

hoping it will go away,

Once again, good poem, but it feels like it's lacking something.... Oh, and I noticed the spacing is kind of odd, you might want to fix that..... I dunno..... I find this one better than your other ones, though. Good wording, nice imagery. :) 4/5
