still running wild

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.
