Black Poetry : Why Do I Keep Running?

[Desert Storm]

Why do I keep
Running

To the ones
Who keep on hurting me?

Why do I keep
Coming to the ones
Who desert me?

Why do I exsist?

If life was intended
To feel memories
Of heavenly bliss

Why do I keep
Reacting?

So fast

And giving
So much

Even though
I recieve
Less

Than I deserve

Patience
Is running low

Drowning
Into a sea

Yet an ocean
Of fatiguee

I go around
The same old
Mountain

Love
Rain
Down on me

Let's take
A long walk

After dark

Keep me talking

Pride left

The day

You became

The past...

Fading

Away

Gently

Swiftly

Like billows

Of rolling grass

Why do I keep Running?

Why do I keep hiding?

My face?

I try to erase

These tears

From my eyes

And I just can't smile

I just can't fake it

Anymore

I don't want to run and hide

I keep running

And I don't know why

Desert Storm

DS...

Sistah...sistah...sistah I could share for days experiences similar to this.

Eventually you get to a point where you get tired of being tired and lonely, giving of yourself and not being reciprocated. It's a hurting feeling. Again, pray and surround yourself with positive and genuinely spiritual people (the Destee fam) and friends and you will be alright.

I have lots to share and a good ear for listening. So the door is open if you need a friend.

Ya!
