I Love to Run

. ...away from my problems (it's not enchanting). Meow. it's called an abandonment complex, or something retarded like that. Arf. .

I love to run,

Away from my problems,

Ruined relationships

All my lost opportunities.

I just, love it,

To run,

To run away,

To run from anything.

(adverse to me)

With vigor. . .

I love to run.

Author's Note

It's really not very enchanting.

[Davidgeo]

Thank you much Julie Pink Eyeball...

As long as you're not running from yourself then running isn't always a bad thing. But running from yourself is like running on a treadmill, you can try but you'll always still be there... every time the product of a futile and frustrating effort.

no i dont run from myself
i am true to myself like for eg if i had a choice between a crwded social event i would choose sitting at home writing alone so staying true to my capabilities and likes (hate social stuff really)
but on line is fine
hard to explain
yes running from oneself can be futile we will always see ourselves staring blankly in the mirror saying (what the f..._? am i)
sorry about the french

ps i thought it was purple

[Davidgeo]

Pinkish purple.

I run all the time. But I always come back, for better or worse. I always come back. And if you always come back there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe stupid and counter productive but at the end, as long as you come back, that can be just enough.

Thanks doll face.

I hate confrontation so this one speaks to me. Sometimes though you just have to stay and see what happens. If nothing else but to prove yourself right.

[Davidgeo]

Ironically this review thread has a bit of confrontation. A fake profile below (crispysloe) is from a kid here named Silente... he was trying to impress some teenaged girls by attempting to intimidate me with insane accusations of sexual harassment and singling out and verbally attacking women. It's really weird actually. He deleted most of the comments but I blocked one of his fake profiles before he could delete the comment.... it's just below from a fake profile "crispsloe". Silente is his real profile name here and he is the epitome of what trendy shallow morality has to offer. I probably shouldn't have gone into such detail... my bad... I just really hate people like that.

[LKBillips]

No worries. I read what he said, but it had nothing to do with your writing. I will judge you on your writing. We are all human and sometimes people make us look foolish and wrong, but they are just one voice in a sea of many. I do not know either of you I only know about the words that evoke a response in me and this one work did.

[Davidgeo]

How about we just judge the writing and leave the humans out of it completely?

[crispysloe]

Fantastic, since I last encountered you... You have done NOTHING but prove me right... Harassing woman after woman with asinine rage... Instead of being able to make any valid counter-arguments... You fell for the EXACT trick you proclaimed to use on Lyn and I.. Get baited, you sexist coward... Bet it feels real good to take that angst out on those who can not defend themselves... I rest my case... Figured someone like you would do the work for me... *Slow-claps*... But, like I said before, PLEASE, continue to troll me, troll others near me... PLEASE... It dedicates a level of energetic commitment I do not even get from my biggest fans... Keep proving you are my number one supporter, and remember... Having chosen me as your fixated god, my power will continue to increase as you menially cast stones before a great swell... L2P, you just lost, again, by your own hand... Predictable to the end... Toodlez, Darlin', and godspeed... I... I win. (Deleting my words now, eh? Have I really gotten to you THAT bad? The emails of support I receive about you... You might be my next step towards stardom)... I should probably thank you... I will not, cause you are nothing more but a stepping stone for those with real talent, but you know... I really should... I win, again and always, Darlin'... *Blows-kiss*

I can completely relate to this piece, it was very well done.
