[hometext] => [I wrote this poem as an apology to my mother after I ran away from home as a teenager.]
[bodytext] => I know I must have hurt you But I didn't think I had My mind was numb My heart was hurt What could I do but run? I open up out to the world For them to break and tear This hollow shell My empty being I've never been so scared. Why do you judge my worthless soul? Why must you scream at all? I cannot bear This heavy load I can't stop me when I fall. The tears I've hid inside myself Pour from my eyes with pain I do not feel I cannot call It's yelling out my name. An emptiness so overrun I have nothing left to lose When all we are And all we've done Is breaking me in two. A peace inside that only comes Once you have been alone To live and learn And become nothing Mistakes are overthrown. The One whose chains I must accept Has carried me this far He never leaves Has never hurt How blessed these losses are!
