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

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.

Wow, great poem Kelly. The idea of running, with no destination in mind, or purpose is deeply expressed in this amazing piece. Enjoyable overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some that you like. Peace.
