Runaway Poem by Jackie Oakden

Locked away in a tower just like a princess
I would go to the prom but I wouldn't wear a dress
I love my friends and family
but I would never be friendly to the enemy
I'll search and look for my knight in shiny armor
but I can't look in the same spot forever
All I have to do now is find a way out
in order for me to find help I'll scream and shout
I know no one will hear me so I've got to go home
All I have to do now is

(chorus)
Runaway, runaway, runaway
All these secrets I'm keeping for so long
I don't know how much longer I can hold on
Should I tell should I not
my brother was caught smoking pot
I don't know what to do
All I wanted was to talk to you
Oh I've got to runaway
(end chorus)

Going home to play
going home to pray
everything is the same I must say
nothing has changed everything is the same
I grew up here wanting the fame
Until I moved into the tower now that's a shame
might as well be in the tower, there is nothing for me here
seeing the dragon that lives in my tower is a fear
I don't know what to do
All I wanted was to talk to you
But all I need is to
(repeat chorus)

Am I dreaming or is this real
hopelessness and selfishness is not what I feel
you wouldn't guess whats going through my mind
you'd never know what you might find
Oh I've got to runaway, runaway, runaway
what's the point of living when I have nothing to live for
I don't need your help anymore
I don't know what to say
These are the things I shouldn't have to pay
All I need to do now is
(repeat chorus)

(runaway) runaway (runaway) runaway
(end of song)
