running

It's the feeling of running
running far far away...

away frm pple
away frm ideas
away frm obligations
away frm problems
away frm emotions
away frm questions

away frm my very own character.

and after all that running,
I find myself drained,
too drained.

I open my eyes,
and realised
I've not moved a single inch.

running is not a sign of weakness
-it's simply a reflex action.

pple run for better pursuits,
pple run when they feel threatened
pple run when they feel they deserve better
pple run for greater happiness.

so d next time u see me running..
u can condemn me as being cowardly
u can condemn me as being a weakling

u can also be a little sympathetic
& pray that I run to become a happier being.

after all..
it wouldn't harm w a little running
besides..
I never really did move an inch.

so let go of ur rein on me
allow me to run free
at least in my dreams.
