Run Away- A poem about running away


Run away with your feet and feel the ground underneath them
plowing earth getting it ready for sowing seeds
the seeds that will be ready tomorrow

but you won't be here tomorrow will you little red fox?
because you're running away

Run away to a place you don't belong
run away to a place you don't fit in
run to places with faces and teeth that grin

Stay little red fox Wait until your seeds grow
wait until their little veins and leaves and roots are strong enough to go with you

But you won't stay you must go
go to places where noone from where you were will tip you with dollars
where noone will remember what you said to them or did to them
Running away Following behind Wanting to help Wanting to find

Grow, do, be, whistle, and be free

You can't run from money little red fox
You can't run far
You can't run just because you're insecure little fox
Stay where you are.

Little red fox you just don't get it
The healthiest running is done going forward, not away from
