at first
i didn’t know
why it was
i kept running
just a case
of nurtured
nature perhaps

eventually
i realized that
no one was trying
to catch me
but it didn’t stop
the need to run
nor the desire
of being caught

now i simply
flee as quickly
as possible
there is nothing
in this haunted
cemetery anyone
could possibly
be searching for
just worn out vans
and graffiti on
the alley walls
stating i was
never even here at all
