I ran
Clad in
pink short shorts
mikes sweatshirt
teal running shoes
and streaming mascara
I ran from the house
into
the darkness
I ran from
Addison
and his smug
and hateful looks
everything he did to me
and everything Im afraid
could happen again
I ran from John
and everything
that reminds me
of him-
computers
his emails
love
and I ran from
all the
feelings
that came with him
I ran from
my mom
and her empty
lies
and false smiles
I ran from my dad
and his lack of caring
about anything-
tenth grade
drill
confirmation
drivers ed
I highly doubt
hell remember my birthday
he hasnt for the past four years
I ran from myself
and my
fear
of everything-
love
lust
commitment
feeling
I ran
and didnt stop
until
the realization that a car
was coming at me
brought me back to reality
