The Boy Who Ran
There is a story of a boy who
became a man or at least some
thought
A boy who went through his life
never got his emotions caught
So this boy ran
Ran fast as he can
All the way until he became a
man
Ran so fast he name only
lasted moments in the sand
From which he step
Taken every stride like it was
his last breath
Felt he be this way all the way
till his death
This man if many knew him a
coward they would say
For he never had the courage
to stay
Stay for no more than a
moments worth
For he felt his life was as
valuable as his father did of his
birth
Ashamed that his name was
cursed
Since when it's ever mentioned
he hurts
So he runs deep in the jungles
of his own mind
He runs as if there is a
happiest to find
He runs and runs till his feet
soil in the dirt
He runs because staying in one
place only makes him hurt
This boy became a man in such
an unfortunate way
For his kept on running till he
was buried in his grave.
