Running Away

Running Away

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Running Away

Running Away
Can seem easy 
Running Away
Can seem like
The best option
It can feel like
Running away
Is the only sane option
The only thing
That seems right
There are times
When we must face
Fight, and battle
Your inner demons
Fight not flight
Fighting against
Injustices
That happen
Everyday
Fight for peace
Fight for love
Fight for life
We have to be 
Willing to fight
The only thing
We should never fight
Is ourselves
It can be easy
To fight ourselves
While running 
From the world
It should be the opposite
We should be 
Embracing ourselves
And fighting
For the people
And a world
That needs 
Fighting for
Everyday

Once you start running, you have to keep running to stay away from what you're running from and that gets tiresome. Nice write :)
