I Run... - Visitor's Poem

by Elise Bradle
(Florida, USA)

Take my shoes
o please please do
I don't want them anymore
walk a mile in them and see
I run
I run because I don't know how to walk anymore
so I run
from my friends
family
and everyone else that shall pass threw my life
because these shoes aren't who I am this girl isn't who I am
I am me and me does not seem good enough for this world to take
no
so I run
I run with everything dear to me so that I may get away
I run every day but I never take one step
it seems I am running but not in the right direction everyday
I get farther back into my ego and who THEY want me to be
every night I slip these shoes off and wish to never wake up
but I do for another day I shall run...
