Dear Mom,

running

dear mom,

by the time you read this,

mommy i'm going to away. 

i'll be running to anywhere.

mommy,

i'll be running as far as my feet can carry me. 

mommy,

i'll be wanting to breathe,

to stop,

but i won't let myself stop.

mommy,

i'll be running far away from home.

away from all the sadness.

away from daddy's anger.

mommy,

i'm sorry.

love,

ann
