why run?

no lofty cause, not for fun
not to check some box, tick off off lists..
I want to run, ergo, I run...

to find myself alive, aware, sane?
push my fears out in the open..
letting those silent cries, a life of their own...
letting those tears through pores instead of eyes... I run

I run, for there seems to be no path,
no set of naïve expectations of others or self
potentialities zilch, only my head pushing me ahead
so I run, not to be perfect, not to improve, not to compete

I run, for there is no reason, for once..
don't have to be somewhere, improve or excel
for once to be thankful for what I got
to step over the pit of despair dug by own demands..

and hence I run...
why?
I run... ergo I run!
