Ohio

I used to stay inside. 
Then I burned my finger on the stove. 
No one lives there anymore. 
Except me and I forgot the bandages. 
So I went to the store and never went back home. 

Anxiety-
Keeps me running, and hurting. 
Traveling long distances. 
Running, and never as fast as a car. 
Although it is much more painful. 
I could get hit by a car. 
I try not to think about that. 
I could run into a pothole and fly. 

Everyone dreams of fly, fly, flying.

I still have 126 miles to the store. 
I chose a store all the way in Ohio. 
What do I know?
