How Far

Too much running without breath

Only looking for the sign of relief

Shove me down and knock me over

Just to give me a chance to breathe

It's ironic that I can bend my spine

I swear I only tell the truth from the heart

Thrown in a game of red rover

So unbalanced on this fine line

Friends are too scattered to keep

Rather keep running then stay with them

Their lack of communication lengthens

As trust in silence becomes key

My pace quickens only to avoid

The obvious in their intent to see

I notice and catch their ploys

To hear and to speak with me

Stopping for blunders and mistakes

My foot ticks with impatience

Breathing in and out hurts the lungs

Dare not to waste the intake

Give me energy give me life

Tell me to take and I will grab

Life is short for me alone

I am not willing to sacrifice
