She's Not A Run Away Child

She's Not A Run Away Child

She took her pictures
Down from the wall
Wrapped her ornaments
Both the big and small

Opened her dresser
Cleaned out the drawers
She was leaving home
That was for sure

Yanked down her clothes
Left the hangers hang
Grabbed her back pack
Threw in books with a bang

Went to the bath collecting
Her make up and such
Putting them in her purse
With a trembling touch

Looking at her luggage
She wondered how to take it all
God she really can’t believe
She and her Mom had a brawl

She peered out the window
And seen it’s dark outside
She needed to go to the yard
To find the place she could hide

She will not take back
The words that were said
And the words of her Mom
Still ran through her head

She wiped away a tear
As she started to cry
And though she is riled
She's not a runaway child.
