The ones who walk away
Are the ones who don’t care,
They can’t be bothered to do so.
The ones who walk away
Understand pain and suffering,
They can’t see it happen again.
The ones who walk away
Are filled with regret and hate,
For they to have been thrown away.
The ones who walk away,
With tears down their face,
Leaving everything they love behind.
The ones who walk away
Found a purpose to move on,
They can’t let it slip away.
The ones who walk away
Are strong with their head held high,
As they don’t need to beg for love.
The ones who walk away
Have given up trying,
No longer able to tolerate it anymore.
The ones who walk away
Realized what others didn’t,
And set themselves free.
The ones who walk away
Fast and quick,
Never planned on staying.
I am one who walks away,
You are one who walks away,
We are the ones who walk away.
They are the ones that stay behind,
Watching us as we leave,
For they forgot that to make us stay
They need to chase after us.
The ideas for this poem came to me when I was in English class. We were reading "the ones who walk away from omelas" and it just came to me. I hope you love it and be sure to comment what you think!
