Run Along

Running all them run-ons
But can’t see what I’m running from
Or perhaps it’s all perspective
And I’m actually running to
Something that looks like you
But haven’t got a clue
How to really live
Run the extra mile
Maybe you can be something worthwhile
The world just smirks
As the labor force works
Just to figure out
What it’s really all about
We live to give
Give each other hope
But it’s sad we’ve needed to resort to dope
Just so we can cope
With all the lies
And worthless tries
The smiles, the cries
The screams
Ringing in my ears
I’ve been hearing it for years
Nothing can snuff the fears
I don’t have enough stuff
I’m not smart enough. Successful enough.
This enough. That enough.
It’s really all just a bluff.
I’m none of the above. I’m me.
Why can’t you see?
Why can’t you love?
Don’t push, don’t shove
There’s no need to rush
All you have to do is hush
And listen.
