Running In A Circle Poem by Lanka Senanayake

don’t leave me alone
no not like this
im afraid of my mind
im afraid of my thoughts
don’t wanna get caught
they don’t know me
as much as you do
if they catch me
ill be stuck inside of my head
so please don’t leave me
no not like this
im afraid of running in a circle
that’s what they are gonna do
put me into a circle
i don’t wanna get caught
my feet wont get sore though
as long as i have hopes
those will make me feel alive
if im running in a circle...
