From the heart of a Tiger

Why Do You Run - The Answer

I run because I am afraid
that I will be consumed again
that I will be burned again
that I will be a circus freak again

I am afraid

I run because I do not wish to see
a dream fall apart yet again in front of me
a dream trampled under foot like pigs in the mud
a dream laughed at like a mocking crowd

I do not wish to see

I run because I do not wish to feel
my heart ripped and shreaded as it has been before
my heart dropped to the ground as if it were some vial disease
my heart thrown away as if it were some rotten johnny mop

I do not wish to feel

I run because...
I feel I must
