RUNNING
Some people use drugs
Some people use sex
Some people turn to the bottle
Some turn to violence becoming plain thugs
Others keep moving or don’t move at all
Then there are those adrenaline junkies going full throttle
So many of us obessed with being perfect, having control and making money
Running from people who did not show love
Running from people who loved them too much
Running from abusers, prepetrators and nightmares there of
Running to escape nightmares that haunt them
Running from responsibility
Or taking on too much
All of this running just to escape someone or something
Never realizing that what they are running from is themselves
We spend so much time searching to fill some big void
Looking for love, acceptence and approval
Searching to fulfill that wounded child that just wants to be hugged
Stop running
Sit still
The search is over
Embrace your power
Change your mind
Listen to your heart
The answer has been there all along
