I run

Despite hating 

it.

The daily dread

always there.

I run,

to get away

from the things

in my head.

And then,

I catch up with 

them

eventually,

instead.

I run,

to help make sense

of the world,

the death, the

destruction, the

demons, the war.

I run,

to free my soul,

in that moment

life is

perfect,

simple

and I am

in awe.
