Running away
I was running away from reflections,
Often changing my country, my town.
I was messed up and lost my patience
For all people i had around.
I was trying to be a way better,
But became only worse, in fact.
Honing speech, minting every letter,
Never thought about how i act.
Every time crossed out and restarted
My life stories like books on the shelf.
But wherever i was departed,
I kept bringing with me... myself.
