Running

Running from everything....

Running
The moment my feet
Lift from the ground
And the instant my body
Leaves this house
Is the second,
I run from everything…
And I don’t look back
While running I think;
The road is like my life..
Why doesn’t it ever end?..
Tears drip from my eyes
While my heart bleeds
I can’t breathe now..
It feels like I forgot
How to take a breath..
But somehow there is
Still air left inside..
No matter how fast
How far, or how long
I run for,
Everything is still
Waiting for me
When I arrive
Back where I started….

This is a very genuine and deep piece of writing, it seems very true when I was reading it!
Often we all feel the same, I can't explain that feel but you have depicted it here brilliantly :)
"When I arrive
Back where I started�." - Loved these lines the most, they are so thoughtful and gave such a deep meaning to the entire piece!
Great work.

This reminds me of how i felt just before i became an adult and made my own way. It reminds me of where i come from.

Sometime to think you are going to get away from it all is all that is needed. Because if you run where will you end up? I really like this emotional piece you have created. I am in touch with you as much as any other poet on this site. Your life breathes through you poetry and I love that about your work. Keep writing and I will keep reading. Again another fine piece of poetry!

Everything always comes full circle, we can run from the past but we must face it in order to move forward. very well expressed, I can relate.

You can keep running, but sooner or later something will catch up to you...it always does. Life can be cruel, but it's up to you to make it better and you can...keep it positive!

Best wishes!

You have explained deep emotion in this, Life does get better for us, It may take a while but it does. I have learned many of lessons. I can feel your emotions play out in this write.

Great poem.
Many of us have ran away from everything,
from our fears, doubts, problems, etc.
Down the line of us running out we learn that not
all is lost everything happens for a reason and we
just have to learn to have patience. Keep you head up
high. Keep on writing.
Thanks for sharing

Best wishes
