Jay Loveless Poet Free verse

Running Away

The blood in my veins freeze, 
the breath in my chest comes to a rapid halt, 
the atmosphere changes, 
I am made of stone - and I run. 

I run as fast as I possibly can; 
away from the possibilities he lies out before me. 
Away from the fears that echo like a song in my mind, 
over and over and over and over and over 
until I think I'm going to go insane. 

I run from the dangers that come with trusting another being, 
from the chance that I could be wrong, 
from everything twisting and turning and forming in my mind. 
And for a moment I am Titanium.

Poet Tacito November 27, 2013 at 11:34 AM It is easy to run. It is easy to fall. But, damn, if it isn't beyond enlightenment when we rise & embrace resilience. Love this. Very, very well done.

Poet Destroyer A November 26, 2013 at 11:22 PM wow... To be titanium.... I am weak, but the feeling of holding on strong and not running. Is a good thought... xox..LINDA Jay Loveless November 26, 2013 at 11:36 PM Thank you. . . And, thats exactly it. I am weak, and scared, but, the feeling, the thought that I could be strong, whether I run or not (though I suppose running isn't very strong), that, I would not be defenseless.
