Kelly Crenshaw Poet Lyric

Running

I'm running away but I don't know where 
Can't find my way but I really don't care.
And I don't know which way I might go
I guess it all depends on which way the wind blows.
But I'm running
And I don't even know what I'm running from. 
I'm just running
I'm just running
Running blind with no where to hide
Running head on towards what I can't describe
I'm just a running
Just running
Running hard away from what I am
From what I've been just as fast as I can.
But there's no where I can run that You won't see
And no where I can go that I can't be
Maybe one of the ones I'm running from . . . is me.
But I'm running
I'm running.
Maybe I'm more afraid of stopping, and having to deal with me,
Than running blind into, the devil I've yet to see.
I keep running
I keep running
What makes me run well I don't know
I can't be afraid because it scares me so.
I'm running
I ain't running free
I'm running
Trying my best to get away from me.
Am I running from who I am
Or am I running from who I'll be?
I don't expect that you can answer that question for me.
And in the meantime,
I'm running
I'm running

Richard Lamoureux January 11, 2014 at 9:44 AM I think you have expressed this so well. It makes me think of Jonah and the whale. Two things are constant, one; where ever you go there you are. Two: where ever you go God is also there ready to help you find yourself. I enjoyed your thought provoking poem. Richard Lamoureux January 22, 2014 at 7:51 AM Yes that makes sense. If you have a chance come check out my work. Have a great day. Kelly Crenshaw January 21, 2014 at 8:13 PM Thnx man. Jonah fits. I kinda had David in mind too. Psalm 139:8
