I ran away.
I was running around with degenerates,
Running wild,
Running in circles,
Running from my own demons.
*
My running from my own responsibilities
Made me run hot.
I was running out of time.
After a run in with the law,
I started running in a new direction.
*
I gave life a trial run.
I ran races.
I ran into friends.
I ran errands, simply to be nice.
I made a run for student counsel president.
Heck, I really gave it a run for the money.
But, my opponent ran away with the win.
*
I still feel like I hit a home run.
Now that I am running my own show,
No more running!
