Running

Running from dreams
Running from hope
Running from you
Running from me
Running to be free

Running to catch up
Running to calm down
Running with a purpose
Running for fun

Running like the wind

Run east
Run west
South, North
Where next?

Run to the other side of the Earth

Run with the world
Run with oneself
Run to think
Run to forget

Running to be with you

Lost but always found
Found but never lost
Smiles bring tears
Tears bring pain

Run from love and hate

I hate running but
I always run,
I can’t run
Never could

Run from the light

I prefer to walk,
to take my time
to think of my life
to make it mine

I prefer to sit,
to sleep,
to dream,
about life

Can this be real?
This whole universe?
Could we run if death was upon us?
Would we try?

People run,
every single day.
The brave ones stand
and face their fears.

We run, from what scares us the most.

We run in our own special ways.

Mentally
Physically
Literally
Metaphorically

We will one day learn,
Running is not the answer.
Love, life, you
that is what matters

that is what counts
that is life
that is it

the answer
the truth
the meaning

No-one should run
No-one should fear
No-one should be alone
No-one should shed tears

We all need to learn
About ourselves
About people around us
About me
About you
About life.
