Running from Fear

Trusting no one-
day by day.
It's exhausting
always running away.
Either mind or feet-
going night and day.
Never letting them close,
always blocking the way.
Who knows the outcome?
Doesn't matter anyway.
I trusted them once.
It went completely astray.
More than rejected,
I became their prey.
I was different,
I heard them say.
Somehow, it's a crime.
So, I ran away.
I cannot stop running.
Mind or feet-either way.
My body blends in;
My soul I hide away.
They say they understand;
but, there is no way.
They can never know the truth.
Fear always leads them astray.
