Why We Run

Why is it we run from things
That make us feel SO GOOD?
I do it.
You do it.
We all do it.
I think it’s because
We’re scared that we will
Run out of the good feelings one day
And we won’t be able to take it ...
Or
We won’t be able to
Pay the price of taking in
Those...oh, so good feelings.
So we hold so tight
Too tight...
To the things we know...
To the things we can predict...
To the things we understand.
We hold with all our might
Until well...
We figure
Everything will be all right.
