How very true. Taking it to a deeper level as a metaphor that can be lsi true of people. Keep the runner or facade covering the person for too long and take away those wrappings to reveal a oerson who can no longer reflect their true self. Well done an excellent observational and thought provoking piece. Milly x

Really good observational piece! Metaphor it could very well be. To write so much about a mat shows a real poetic talent blooming!

I like this alot and it can be taken so many ways.. we as people are runners in my opinion because we all hide something deep inside of us. Well done
