Running from Myself

May 22, 2019
By Anonymous

I feel trapped inside

I used to be able to glide

There is nowhere to hide

So many thought in my head

They begin to feel like lead


I will run around this track

That you call real life

I'm just running and running

What do we run for

Who do we all run from

 

No one will know who

I am running from myself

Running from my brain

Running from the thoughts

In my head that I can't control
