Student Poem of the Month — August 2006
 

 
Run Away   © by   Summer McEntire

Run away
Never come back
Run past the forests past the trees
Go to a place you fit in and belong
Stay away from this place
Where people treat you differently from others
Keep running until you find the right pathway
Find the path to Freedom
