I ran away Once After I had Just turned fourteen I spent four days Shacked up In an apartment With two men I knew only By Midnight And Black Panther We ate spagetti One night And hot dogs The next And we'd drive Around From house to House And listen to The search team Over the CB Matlock was checking Over at Viper's Bear was in tears The police Were checking out The mall And still they Would find me Nowhere Finally the guys Began to get Worried And I was starting To miss My shoes So they dropped Me off at my Friend Sara's And to this day I have managed To never tell Anyone Where I was All that time And nine years later The mystery still Has not died Whenever my Family gathers Conversation often Turns over to the Past And someone will Always ask Where did I go And I always Smile and say I was there The whole time But I hate keeping Secrets All bottled up Inside So I thought I'd share it With you Hope you don't MindBirth sign: Aquarius
