But the running has been
at times
in circles
in one straight line
with hurdles
with confusion
in a dead sprint
in a slow jog
in a watching the world move while I sit
while I play Mario Kart
while I pet my dog
while I laugh with my roommate
while I scroll instagram
while I drink coffee
at different shops
while I cry because money
because illness has hit my family
running wild and searching
searching for a meaning
searching for what is important
family?
dreams?
careers?
travel?
friendships?
romantic relationships?
still running wild.
playing make-believe
playing make-believe on a stage
running in a dead sprint
running so much that I can't breathe
running so little that I feel worthless
running towards light
running with light
trying to prove to myself that I am my own light.
still running.
still running wild.
