L'aura del Campo

Don't be mad; I'm way less sad [32]

When I ran away my problems hitched a ride with me. No... you can't leave them behind. Life doesn't work that way. But one s.o.b. hasn't found me yet; which is okay, because I'd be dead not sad. Yes, I'm sad. All the friends I made. All the memories stuffed into the back closet of my mind. They come out at night to haunt me.

But I should be glad. I had a very good year and then the shit hit the fan. When I finally got back on my feet I moved again. One doesn't leave one's problems behind, but one can get a respite to breathe.

So I breathe. Many years later I still run away but politely say, "I travel".

Don't be mad I'm way less sad

I'm running running I'm running running
I'm running running — I can't stay

running running running, I'm way less sad
running running running, running away

I'm running running I'm running running
I'm running running — don't be mad

running running running, running away
running running running, I'm way less sad
