I was Running

August 14, 2011
By Anonymous

I was running.
out of time,
out of breath,
out of ideas,
out of passion,
out of patience,
out of hope,
out of love,
I was Running,

Then you made me stop.

"As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry,
like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve.
And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me.
And everything I made is trite and cheap and a waste of paint, of tape, of time." - Bright Eyes
