Poem
We, humans, are all fugitives We run from what life gives We run from our duties Even from our responsibilities We run from our memories Too harsh they are, those pulsating yet gone stories We run from our feelings Yes, for we have problems and issues in trusting We run from our nightmares In case they do catch us unawares We run from our dreams For the fear of failure does cause our ambition to be all dim We run from life, by seeking to attain liberation Why, we do feel suffocated in this mundane prison We run and we shall keep on running For humankind is made to accept not what they have been given We run from our shadows We run from nature's tornadoes We run and seek to hide in a made up reality There where the dark side can be thrown down easily Fugitives we all are, fugitives, having escaped our past life But the essence of this world caught us and brought us back So, never satisfied, we shall keep running Never satisfied, we shall keep longing Always shall we aspire to seek perfection Always shall we aspire to save ourselves from damnation We shall run and run, and hope of never getting caught again We shall run, for, as long as we do breathe, we shall want to forget life's pain! Like the rest, I am running, fleeing, flying even Ghosts do be at my heels Ghosts, being by evil, all driven Ghosts, hoping to break me, being all driven But against all odds, I choose to dream, I choose to hope Existence shall give my soul a wider scope Yes indeed, life can be different, in some other realm Oh yes, I shall always seek to find such, thirsty for such I do be!
