Running

All of my life, I've always been running
from one class to the next
from one friend to the next
from one boy to the next
Running
Sometimes sprinting - and at other times, slowing down
But never walking
It's always been fast-paced
Stressing about every detail
of every english assignment that I just had to ace
about every show that I just had to be cast in
Running
Throwing myself into situations in which I couldn't handle
situations I shouldn't be handling
Sprinting back and forth - work and rehearsals
Running my mouth
to people I really shouldn't have
on subjects which were not my forte
Quickly skipping to each room
it felt like a dream
in fast forward
You'd think for a runner, I'd be in better shape
Running
They never saw
But all this time I've been running
with scissors
I've just been so lucky to have not tripped
until now
