nowhere to run
i just had this incredible urge
to get out of here.
so i did, i said i was going for
a walk and i left.
i started walking, and then
it was like i couldnt' get away
fast enough, i started running,
i kept running till i felt like
i was far enough away and safe.
and then i kept walking, and sometimes
running, to a place where i feel
safe in my neighborhood. it's a
little nook made from thick bushes
with an electrical box in the middle:
i sat down and i cried.
i cried because i'm so lost.
i don't know what i'm doing,
and i feel like i'm fumbling
around in the dark.
i cried for all the things my
parents want me to do,
all the things i want to do,
i the things i should be doing,
but aren't.
and i prayed, and realized i have
no stability in my life.
