I ran away once,

but I didn't get far.

I ran away twice,

but the room was filled with bars.

I ran in circles,

I ran in my dreams,

I ran away thrice,

but I can't get free.

I went to bed the other night, this poem just popped into my head within seconds of closing my eyes. Luckily I've learned to keep paper and pencil on the night table these days!

Thanks for recognizing the pain within the words.
