I wrote this when i was moving around alot and it seemed my mistakes would follow me
Farther and farther away you run
wanting to escape what you dare not become
always seeking out new realms to hide
ignorant to the fact you carry it inside
forever you trade the places and faces
forgotten yet never erasing disgraces
as the tides of time eternally wash you ashore
you ponder and stare yet never pass through the door
desperatly wanting to find someone new
terribly afraid it will still be you
as you see the dusk drawing near
you feel in your bones another tide of fear
the feelings and thoughts within still churn
hold it there to grow hatred and burn
your heart becomes black your mind grows frail
turn around once again and frantically set sail
your ship is at sea, your compass lost
you prepare to pay the ultimate cost
farther and farther away you will run
needing to escape what you are destined to become
