JD Ran Through The Woods

I Ran through the woods,

Face covered by a hood,

The smell of fresh , crisp air,

forest animals giving me a scare,

I am running my fastest,

Not able to see without my glasses,

I am running in fear,

Face covered in tears,

For the people of this land do not want me here,

I do not know why they do not want me here,

I was not hurting anyone,

I was just wandering along, when I saw one,

One of them,

They tried to chase me,

And now everywhere I go,

I feel that no one will ever know,

Know the true me,

I think they will all just chase me along,

For I do not think that there is anywhere that I belong.

Looking

I ran through the woods
Fleeing in terror
From what lie behind
I ran through the woods
Not sure what to do
Afraid of what lies ahead
I ran through the woods
Going in circles
Trying to make up my mind
With minimal success
I ran through the woods
Looking for an escape
But will I ever find one?
Will I ever find you?
