"Running" Inspired by Destination Anywhere:

Running

They tell me

travel is a type of running

and ask what I’m running from.

I’m running from making a decision,

I’m running from stagnance,

I’m running from who I am in that place.

They’ve decided running is bad --

running is cowardice.


I’ve decided

not all running is negative.

I’m running to find a home,

I’m running to make a better me,

I’m running to feel free.

Yes, I’m running from my past

because I’m running to find my future.
