#ran poems on Hello Poetry

Anya Oct 2018

I ran

I had two options
I could have taken
The smart way out
Actually
Do something useful
...
Instead,
I took the fool’s way out
I ran
Giving it my all
Feet pumping
Mind soaring with
A thousand hopes
And dreams
...
And I dove for those dreams
Getting down and *****
Even if it was,
A fool’s errand
In the end

A thought and mundane event woven into a poem.

An "Also Ran"

When I was young enough to remember
my dad told be not to be one
an "also ran"

It was only when I was older
I understood
...
She is a swimmer who has been to state
I also swam
...
She's gotten second place in piano state
I also played
...
She's the varsity goalie and incredibly athletic
I'm also a goalie
...
He's our debate team co-head and one of our best
I also debate
...
She's amazing at writing poetry
I also write
...
Her squash team got second in the state
I also play squash
...
She was the lead of the musical
I was also in the musical
...
I could keep going
But I think you get the point
...
So what,
if I've tried everything
do everything
know everything?

I have to find
that one thing I'll be the best at
...
...
...
I can't always be an also ran

The One That Got Away

''I love you''
is just a facetious phrase
that gave me ways
and reasons why
not to stay
and just say goodbye
to the man
who lied
and ran,
and never even tried.

He just ran away and never go back........

Regret

I regret the summer i ran away
The summer in the dark
Where i should have stayed with you

The time ran out, where were we

I regret the summer i was afraid
The summer night
Where i should have said my love

The time ran out for us

My love, i never confessed.

I Should Have Ran (Haiku)

I should have ran from
you before I fell too hard
to ever get up

About my ex. My emotions are stupid right now. I have an amazing thing going for me yet my head is stuck in the past, as per usual. Why?

You…

I made you my religion
The definition of me
I saw you in my reflection
but you ran off with him.
those days I’d sit in front of
your picture
and pray for your arms around
me.
I’d wrap myself around a cup of coffee
my imagination of your being.

//My thoughts are focused on you

Shem

a mired clan was shagreen
at such a mistrial as Ira
as jewelry admire him
that hawk a wave nearby Atlantis
but Solomon wake butterfly in Smithfield gland
that women own them with beer in-between ******

Fucking tired Aug 2017

i ran

last night
i came home late
to my mother yelling

i tried to reason
to no avail
she didn't believe any of my words

her hand on my arm
her voice high and loud
she tried to push me inside
she wouldn't listen

tired and angry
i walked away
she followed

then i ran
and ran
and ran
and ran

till i could no longer hear the flopping
of her shoes
behind me.

i had to return later
but the feeling of that run
of disobeying
of my heart beating fast
of my small lasted freedom
is still in my mind
causing me
to want to run once more
and never stop
till i'm so far away
even her in her sliver car
can't find me

i want to run
and run
and run
and run
and i don't wanna ever stop
