Run: A Poem
I wanna run
 Run away
 And follow the sun
 And come back another day
 
 I wanna run
 Just to see if you’d care
 To see if you’d be done
 With the relationship we’d share
 
 I wanna run and
 Leave this place behind
 Join a gypsy band
 To see if you’d be able to find
 
 Me
 
 
 
 
 I wanna run
 Run far away
 To the lands of sun
 But I won’t stay
 
 I wanna run
 And chase my dreams
 And be part of the action
 With different themes
 
 
 
 
 I wanna run
 But just far enough to make you think
 That there has been an abduction
 And make you rethink
 
 Me
 
 To see who’d set out to look for me
 And see who really cared
 See who would be
 Sad and despaired
 
 Who would go about their life
 As if, I never existed?
 Who is a lowlife
 And who acted
 
 
 
 I wanna run
 Run far away
 To the lands of sun
 But I won’t stay
 
 I wanna run
 And chase me dreams
 And be part of the action
 With different themes
 
 I wanna run away
 But only long enough
 To make people say
 I was murdered and other stuff
 
 Just to see who’d attend my funeral
 And who’d shrug it off
 Who’d act casual
 While the rest all but shutoff
 
 Who’d care enough to cry
 Who’d vaguely remember me
 Who’d be sad when I die
 And who’d never care to see
 
 Me
 
 I wanna run
 Run far away
 To the lands of sun
 But I won’t stay
 
 I wanna run
 And chase me dreams
 And be part of the action
 With different themes
 
 I fear nobody cares
 About the quiet girl they knew
 Who was a little messed up upstairs
 And if they’d have a clue
 
 A clue as to how I care
 Care about them
 And about their welfare
 And I think they’re a gem
 
 Will they ever know
 Will I ever know who cares
 About me and if I go
 And all my affairs
 
 
 
 I wanna run
 Run far away
 To the lands of sun
 But I won’t stay
 
 I wanna run
 And chase me dreams
 And be part of the action
 With different themes
 
 Please let me go!
 Please let me know!
 
 But I can’t
 I can’t risk the chance
 The chance of them hurting and I shan’t
 Because they might care perchance
 
 
 I wanna run
 Wanna run
 Run
 Run
 Run
 Run away
 Away
 To see if you care
 See if you care
 If you care
 You care
 Care
 
 Do you care?
 Would you care?
 Should you care?
 Will you care?
 
 But why?

The quote was meant to be about a relationship but I wrote my poem about anyone I've known.
I still wonder these things but I'll probably never know.
