Running Away Poem by Andrew Olson

Running, all the time I'm running.
I never stop to think what I'm running from or where I'm running to,
I just run, its what i do.

Just like my blood runs, I run
, away from my past-
away from the future-
away from myself.

I don't even think about tomorrow or the next step I take.
I never take precautions I just jump in,
never knowing how deep the water is,
usually it is too deep, but I jump in anyways not knowing how to get out.

Why is it that I never stop and think,
I never think about my fate?
I just run from everything,
and I never realize that I have created a disguise for myself.

All I ask for is a little help.
So I can slow down, stop the running, take the disguise off, and
enjoy the rest of my life..... while i can before it is too late
