People who run away from themselves

Where do they go?

The Journey Within

That never ends.

A quest to find answers

That should have no questions.

Or should they?

Weary travellers on a unknown path

To find a newborn king or queen.

Part 2:

We travel from place to place,

Seeking new sights and faces.

But often we miss what's near,

The people who love us so dear.

We run from problems inside,

Hoping new scenes will provide

The answers we failed to find,

Within our own restless mind.

But miles between cannot part

What haunts the wary heart.

People who run away from themselves,

Where do they go?
