Running from Myself

A Poem

Gotta run away, every day.

No love, feeling unwanted, constant fray.

World against me, constant blight,

No break, desperate plight.

Betrayal runs deep, own reins,

Lack of faith, inauthenticity stains.

Deep ingrained unworthiness,

Loneliness, numb emotions, distress.

Wake up, uncover the veil,

One life, make it worthwhile.

Creation's my god, not denial,

Show strength for yourself, not trial.

No one can stop you,

Your life, prerogative, breakthrough.

Touch highest, be affirmative,

Take the ride, let strength live.

-----

In these verses, we explore self-discovery, emotions, and the quest for strength. May you find resonance in shared struggles and empowerment. Life's ride is unpredictable, but within it lies the potential for profound self-realization.
