song reflection

I was just a poor young little ugly thing

Momma kicked me out, just shy of 17

I was lookin' for love, in the fire, in the flames

But the only way to love, is to get yourself burned

That's how I became the runaway

I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me 
He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me 
I should've known by the look in his eyes
We looked at the same guys
That's when I realized

No hands will hold me
I'll always be lonely
Is there someone out there who can break
This habit of going
There's no way of knowing
I promise I'll always be a little runaway
Your little runaway

If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken
Take me as an example, I'll be a token
I used to fall head over feet
But everyone I loved deceived me
So, what choice does that leave
A runaway

You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine
But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime
My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh
Almost as hard as it is to love me
A runaway

No hands will hold me
I'll always be lonely
Is there someone out there who can break
This habit of going
There's no way of knowing
I promise I'll always be a little runaway
I'll be a runaway

• The story of this poem is that a girl was kicked out at 17 and forced to live on her own. She tries to find love along with surviving. She soon finds out there’s not much hope for her and she can only find herself on her own.

Almost as hard as it is to love me



This poem attempts to tell readers that because love is hard, sometimes the only person you can trust is yourself.

This poem says that everyone is after love but not everyone gets it.

This poem attempts to tell readers that self love matters more than love from others.
