I was Running

August 14, 2011
By Anonymous

I was running.
out of time,
out of breath,
out of ideas,
out of passion,
out of patience,
out of hope,
out of love,
I was Running,

Then you made me stop.

When I run, my thoughts disappear and go somewhere in a land unknown....

&quot;As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry,<br /> like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve.<br /> And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me.<br /> And everything I made is trite and cheap and a waste of paint, of tape, of time.&quot; - Bright Eyes
