Scrolling through Facebook, Born to Run in my ears, My friends celebrate that they're in the clear; The beginning of their career. There's no Wendy running with me, but that's ok. She'd only get in my way. Picking my life I jumped the gun. In bed at one for a bus at half five; "The body is dead but the spirit is alive!" Trying to read my scripts on the bus, fighting open my eyes. Won't be back for a while, so mother's last words; sweet goodbyes. Stepping off the bus, my baggage is heavy; the suitcase too. My body is worn, my jacket is torn, and there's rain in my shoe. Wendy. Where are you?

Refer to Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" and Romans 8:10.
