Run

Run

A Poem by Melanie Genevieve
"

I can't sleep :(

"

always running on 

those things that keep me up at night

staying up trying to recreate

emotions, experiences, galaxies

trying to write things i don’t know yet

trying impatiently to grow an exotic garden

out of these seed-words

staying up trying to lasso in my imagination

trying cautiously to catch curiosity 

before it runs to far for me to follow

staying up to run from the world

escaping to patient pages

instead of getting some shut eye

saying goodnight to universe

so I can run in the morning

I definitely interpreted this with more than one meaning of the word run xD I've definitely done literal late-night and morning runs as you've probably guessed haha

[Edited: Seems I got 'Run' and 'Curiosity' mixed together earlier. Those seed words are worth planting though. Read them and write them Words, ideas, discussions..poetry, song lyrics it's all good!]
