Thought Process


Keep running, keep running!

Don't look back, keep running!

Ok, it's safe to stop now

Where am I?

no one is behind me

when did they stop chasing me?

were they chasing me?

That mob was running my way.

I can't take that risk.

I have dreams, goals, school

I have to pass physics

Can I afford to go to the prom?

Who should I ask?

I need money

I'm growing too fast

my clothes can't keep up

I'm hungry

What's for dinner

Did I drop my house keys?

The next bus comes in an hour

Should I walk home?

Who lives around here?

I'm tired
