I Ran! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I Ran!



I ran!
I didn't want to stay.
I couldn't.

To witness and feel,
What was being revealed...
There,
Before my eyes.
Frightened.

I ran to escape from it.
I could not sit.
There was something I knew,
I had to resist.

I had not been accustomed to truth.
Everyone I knew,
Ran from it too!
What else could I do?
But run!
