run

run away from this 
run and never come back 
run and hide and never look behind you

they run from violence 
but into hate 
keep running

they run from death 
but into danger 
don't stop 

they run from a government 
to be stopped by a different one
hide 

they run from inequality 
into discrimination 
wait 

have you ever run 
have you ever hidden  
have you ever run away just to be dragged back to where you escaped

    I lay between these yellow walls for hours on end
    watching the analog clock just above my calender
    watching the life that was once mine tick by without consequence 

    I wait for a phone call 
    but whos? 
  • unwanted

    when you asked me why

    i would do such a thing 

    i watched you cry

    over nothingness 

    that used to be 
    something but is now only Me

    i had no clever answer 

    or anecdote
