Why I run

I run because I hurt. 

I run because the rush of endorphins gives me some temporary joy, 

a momentary reprieve. 

I run so I can listen to my music 

regulating the emotions through motion. 

I run so I can keep fit. 

I run so I can feel fit 

and, thus, worthy to myself. 

I run because it makes me feel powerful, 

this movement powered by my own body.

I run to be alone. 

I run because I am alone. 

I run because it’s something I can do by myself, 

without depending on anyone. 

I run to escape. 

I run to run away.
