I Run

A poem

Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash

I run, I run to escape the descending dawn, I run, I run to escape the encroaching waves of reality, I run, I run to escape the numbness in my veins, I run, I run to escape the mediocrity in life, I run, I run to escape the fettered chains, I run, I run to escape the man-made system,

Yet with all the running, Depleted, I ask myself, What am I actually running away from, The actual reality, Or the perceived reality?
