Running

• Description: I don't know, maybe gaians won't appreciate this poem... I like comments but NOT insults. Seriously, writing comes from the heart and if you don't appreciate it don't say anything. But anyways, at least this poem is grammatically correct.

Do we really run because we’re scared? Of course, but more importantly we run because we need to run. We’re cowards, amateurs, we can’t handle anything. Clearly we run to get away, but not from anything in particular, except maybe our own thoughts. Maybe we’re scared of ourselves. Our capacities as humans, for love and loss and pain and happiness and we’re so scared that the only thing we know how to do is leave it all. We don’t want to think because then we’ll remember, and when you remember you begin to feel. It’s so much easier to be numb, not to think, just to run. Not to get out of anywhere, but to make sure you’re not getting anywhere new. We’re liars. We’re not running for the cause or the outcome or to feel good, we’re running to distract. We’re done when our heads are as empty as our shoes, we’re done when it’s gone, when it’s over and the timers have stopped. Not because time’s run out, but because it’s never ending and impossible and illogical and infinite. And we instantly understand absolutely nothing, in the same way that forever is less appealing than tomorrow.

It didn't sound like a poem to me, more like an essay. But hey, it was pretty good.

Great. The way it is formatted, without lines and such, give the poem a fast-paced feel, which I think connects well to the topic. I also liked the your use of repetition, not just in words but in ideas.

Well, first off, this isn't really a poem. It's more just a "random writings" sort've thing. Otherwise I like it. There's some errors, but hey writing isn't just about the logistics. It really is mostly about the ideas and thoughts behind what is written. Nice job razz
