Running
By Badilisho

 

I work late hours and avoid going home,

This is me running.
  
I sit for hours surfing sites and chatting up duds,

This is me running.

 

     
I hit the mall staring down potential conquests,

This is me running.

  
  I lay with no connection,

Running.

I avoid reading my bible,

I ignore your calls,

I ignore my conscious,

I run.

I beat myself up for loving you,

I argue with my thoughts of togetherness,

I dash away from silent rooms,

I crowd my mind with noises and things to do,

This is me running, away from you.
