When is away the direction to run?

fight or flight
or stay out of sight
does it bite
it’s your right
to know
when it might
with no invite
without the light
in the dark of night
grow

into

the rhythm of the run, the beat
and music of the getting away,
the monster found you hiding,
and it’s too big to stay and slay

so
into the day
have your say
without delay
it’s okay
to go
away
