Run, Run, Run, Faster Than The Wind
Chase Me, Find Me, Catch Me, Fix Me From Within
one upon a time, I knew who I was
my favorite color, my favorite word
I could say things unblinkingly
without conforming to the herd
but now, my means for survival
through each stressful day
is to not divulge information
in any single way
people who think they know me
merely have only met my shell
I look happy, gay, and free
when inside, I'm not actually well
I wish for closeness
I wish for them to know
the inner side of myself
the part I can't seem to show
at the same time, I'm running
what this closeness is, I couldn't say
if not heart, then it's always distance
that stops me from feeling this way
no one runs after me
no one cares to try
none have ever been able
to catch me as I run by
Run, Run, Run, Faster than The Wind
Chase Me, Find Me, Catch Me, Fix Me From Within

This is actually an older poem I dug up recently. I might reply with a new one soon too this original.
