Running

I’ve tried to run from everyone. I was sure there must be something better just around the bend. But each time I’d come close to joy, there’d be another problem with which I must contend. For every negative circumstance, it seemed easier to simply blame somebody else. But eventually I’d get stripped away and have to admit the involvement I had myself. The time would come for me to have to take a deep look in the mirror. I knew I wasn’t strong enough, but there was no way to get around facing my fear. I might be able to successfully run away from reality, but the one thing I can’t run away from is me.
