Stannie's poetry - 2. Running

Just a small one. It's originally a Dutch poem as well. It did rhyme, but to keep the same layout after translating, I couldn't keep the rhyme. In my opinion tha't not a problem though, because it's about the content, right?

I’m running

From my past

Towards you

I’m running

And believe me

It hurts

Running without

legs.

 

And I got lucky

There is only one road

Running to you

Isn’t hard

But, I don’t know why

For some reason

I can’t seem to

reach you.

 

There are so

Many obstacles

I gotta dodge

Though that is

Easy

Without legs

Because then I

can’t fall

 

And you are

Running as well

Do you even try

To get to me

Or did you only

Ask me

To run towards you

to see me fail

 

Does it make you

Happy

To know there

Is someone

Without legs

But with feelings

So when I can’t fall

you can still hurt me

That was flawless, emotional and sad. I know sometimes it hurt more of a betrayal than of physical injury. Your carrying the emotional flow and thought it I can see someone's love, someone's selfishness and someone's endless guilty.

 

Very emotionally presented poem. And I liked it... :)

Yes, the heart of the poem is the emotion. Rhyme is secondary. And your poem delivers nicely and I can feel it.
