My own adventure
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Some people run away
Baby's escape from gardens
Toddlers try to jump on busses when mums not watching
Nursery children run away from their prams
Six year olds get lost trying to walk round the block to aunty's house
Teens run from abuse or arguing
Adults run before things get too tough
I hope they have somewhere safe to go first like Childline or Women's aid
It's all in the timing or the feeling I guess.
Some people run back home cos it got dark
Some just run from themselves in councelling or mental assylums
Were all just lonely hearts missing creator.
Most times we get brought back.
