I run
because I forget in the first place why I do
I run
because I can't stop thinking "why do I even breathe"
I run
because I think about you and me then back to me then back to you
I run
because of the silent scream in my head that needs to be suppressed
I run
because there is so much hate and love inside me
I run, I run, I run
far
far away
even if I stumble
even if I get scarred
even if
I run.
I felt inspired to write this poem because I tripped while I was running and let's just say I have a new addition to the scars on my knees.
