Runner

poem by KC writer Joni Wilson aka Amenimity

I'm impossible to please

Inspecting every possible degree

Not settling for less

When I give my best

And the only thing

I fail at

is permanent bling

So I run - and run - and run far away

Only to get even more strayed

But I run - and run - and run far from here

In the end all I'm faced with is my own fear

I'm impossible with nonstop nonsense

I admit there's purpose to all my madness

And even can't you see

In my head wars complete

But those wars I've waged

were all against me

So I run - and run - and run - and run

far away

Only to end up

Right back where I began

Ain't it strange?

Self created chaos

The culprit points the blame

Pointing their fingers

at anyone else but the flame

So I run - and run - and run - and run - and run - and run

far away

After all that running

it's funny it's the same

Reaching for the fame

Only to be

The one left to blame

Humbles way

To make me pay

So I run - and run - and run far away

Only to get even more strayed

But I run - and run - and run far from here

In the end all I'm faced with is my own fear
