When I was a LITTLE, I ran away from monsters under my bed,
I was afraid of being left alone in a mess.
At the time, I ran towards my favorite hiding place in the arms of my mom,
I dreamed about a superwoman’s home
When I got a LITTLE OLDER, I ran away from the torment.
I expected that I’d have to fight to save myself
At the time, I ran towards my dad,
I hoped for a mystified glad.
TODAY when I run, I run away from the bad influence,
I wish I could run from my past effluence,
TODAY when I run, I run towards my imagination,
I aspire life for a juxtaposition.
