"The Runner"


Everyday is a constant struggle

but I learn to juggle it. I run to

feel the wind but it catches me as

i breath in. I try to dodge the way 

of life until I'm on my knees begging

for forgiveness. I'm happy I'm sad 

I'm mad I'm hungry for more. But I realize 

that their are people who need more. i

wish to spread my wings and leave the 

nest. I feel it's a tight grip on me that 

want come loose but every now and then 

it begins to feel light. Every second every day

i hear my heartbeat but then again it could be

me listening to the way I speak.
