I've always been a runner
I never wanted to get caught
Every game
Of every summer
I was the one being chased
Because it was no fun chasing others
I was always fast
My shoes tightly laced
I loved the attention of being sought after
I loved their frustration
It always gave me a rush
I was filled with laughter
Chasing others was embarrassing
Desperate
Annoying.
I could help but running away and toying
With others
Because I loved to win
I think I live my entire life this way
Running from those who
Wish I'd stay
