If you run, ensure you’re running towards something, never away.
I Kept Running From Myself, I Just Discovered I Wasn’t
There’s a time I kept running, and running, and running some more
I ran in the woods—my favorite running spot,
I ran by the road, in the field, in marathons,
And I ran in my head
Running in my head was more,
There’s something about wanting out so badly,
And going to the woods to run helped.
It metaphorically helped feel like running away,
Away from that which I was trying to escape.
But the thing is, You don’t outrun yourself.
It feels good, liberating, clears your head,
And it makes you run nonstop until your feet bleed, forcing you to stop.
But in the end, there you still are!
But recently, I stopped to ask:
Was I running to or from something?
It felt like I was running from something, sometimes from myself.
But it turns out,
I was actually running to something.
