Long distance runner


Naivety,
Recognised as tolerance and likeness,
Only to be spewed out and challenged as second best.
Keep on running,
Running away from the empty shell,
The expectations that make it all seem like Hell.

Where to from here?
Grab the metaphorical wheel and steer
Off into the distance.
Where to?
Nobody yet knows,
Yet follow the course where the river flows.

Loneliness of a loner
Angst of an anarchist
Heart of a recluse,
Too much to shape into a mould,
Too much to do as told.

But you run for the distance,
There’s something better than this,
Something much grander
so as not to miss.

So, keep on running,
Don’t slow down,
The place you’ve been searching for,
Is soon to be found.
