Running

I felt tired,

I felt tired, running after people

I felt tired, running after people who left me behind.

I felt drained

I felt drained Hoping for the impossible;

I felt drained Hoping for the impossible; My intentions benign.

I felt lost

I felt lost Following the footsteps of others;

I felt lost Following the footsteps of others; A path that wasn’t mine.

I felt used

I felt used Still loving my betrayer,

I felt used Still loving my betrayer, Notwithstanding the crime.

I felt out of place

I felt out of place Living in a world,

I felt out of place Living in a world, Where lying to yourself was fine.
