Running
away is one the saddest topics. I have a story on it and it is about
one of my friendz. He was a really close friend. I really liked him
a lot - I might have even loved him, but I'm pretty young. He was cute, nice and helpful but he always ran. I mean he could never stay
put. He lived with another one of my close friendz. He had a nice home and foster
mom but he ran away. Then the state took him away. I didn't talk to him for a
while. I got a hold of him the second time. He was in a group home. After a while he got in some trouble and kinda ran away from that.
I have not
talked to him since then. I really miss him. Our friendship was priceless but
our bond is now broken and in a way so was our hearts. Running away leads to pain and death.
Be careful. Neva' take that first step find a true friend who can hold
your hand through the pain.

Lil' Mama
I don't run away. I
like to deal with my problems up front so they are over and don't come back and
haunt me later.
