Running
October 3, 2008
Through the open door;
or through the rose-covered field,
you are running
into a world that you only know of;
You walk the halls;
with thoughts of the mall,
though you fake a laugh;
a smile;
everyday of your life,
As you shed a tear and ask
Why am I running?
the love that you seek is not far,
but you receive it in fashion and fake;
You hate this world and the
people within it;
you hate your self,
but you love the taste of those tears,
as you are
Running.

Why would you hate the world or yourself? What is wrong with the mall? I ♥ the mall! What is wrong with fashion? Fashion makes the world go ROUND! No one fakes a laugh and smile! They laugh because something is funny and smile because they are cheerful and have fun!!!

cat, this is awesome! it doesnt only tell of how people who seem depressed are, but for those who are trapped in the web and seek a way to free themselves.
