Running since I can remember
from childhood thoughts
once mistaken for genius
Seemingly sitting alone too often
in my own world alone
surrounded by wonderment
For none to see but my heart
youthful footsteps tearing paths
through my jagged lifeline
Still running seemingly
to a destiny wrought with pain
stronger than the richest steel
Perceived by all thought
to be running from something
maturity brings much peace
For once a morning blue
whispers pounding beside me
running in time to wind’s song
Clarity grabbed my thick mane
calmed my racing memories
I was never running away
I was running to my destiny…
