Today
I tried to run from my thoughts –
Literally –
As I have done many times before,
And never have I been able to succeed,
For I’ve learned we cannot outrun what lies within us.
This merely leaves us gasping for air –
Physically and emotionally.
Yet, that still does not stop us from trying.
Silly little souls are we
To choose the numb instead of the sentiment,
But sometimes…
It’s just better that way…
Until we are brave enough to change it.

Someday
I’ll be brave enough to change it.
