• Running from the present
    And running from the truth.
    Running from reality,
    Yet running from my youth.

    Running from the future
    And things that are to come.
    Running for my sanity,
    Before I come undone.

    Running for an answer
    To questions left unsaid.
    Running to escape the past,
    Replaying in my head.

    Running to the finish line
    But is it the final end?
    Running, just to find myself
    Surrounded by my dread.

    Running from what I’ll become
    If I grow up someday.
    Running now to lose myself;
    Running to run away.
