You try to walk away
But you’ll never escape
Like the light of the day,
Hate engulfs like a cape

How can you hope to flee?
No one here willow follow
Though you are nice to see,
Our feelings are hollow

Go ahead; go your way
Let your journey take shape
However, when you fray,
You will find no escape

The author's comments:
It is about breaking away from something that is bad into something that is worse; it is from a very deep place in my heart. It can be applied to a wide variety of things, from relationships to sports.
