Running Blindly
I ran with my eyes closed shut
 
 Ran so far to see if I could find home
 and I kept on running
 
 None stop footsteps
 Right to left and right left again
 
 And I can no longer pretend 
 That I’m okay here
 
 I ran down and up hills 
 Over and over
 
 As sweat rolled down my face
 Like the tears in my eyes
 
 And now I cant even find a piece of mind
 To help me relax 
 So I keep running
 
 Running with my eyes closed shut
 
 And
 As I finally slow down my heart beats faster 
 
 …
 I’m here my eyes open wide 
 To see the dirty light blue walls and old pale brown fence
 And I’m Home
 
 I rang the door bell
 Once or twice 
 Then a dozen times after
 
 But no one was there to open the door
