Running on Empty

I ran away.

I was running around with degenerates,

Running wild,

Running in circles,

Running from my own demons.

*

My running from my own responsibilities

Made me run hot.

I was running out of time.

After a run in with the law,

I started running in a new direction.

*

I gave life a trial run.

I ran races.

I ran into friends.

I ran errands, simply to be nice.

I made a run for student counsel president.

Heck, I really gave it a run for the money.

But, my opponent ran away with the win.

*

I still feel like I hit a home run.

Now that I am running my own show,

No more running!
