Brittnay Ray's poem is all about running. She talks about where she runs and why she runs. She explains that she is mostly running away from pain.






Running Running
away from my tears 
away from my pain
away from my fears 
away from my shame 
away from my peers

Running Running 
ill be with you there
ill make you happy 
Ill be your right pair 

Rnning Running 
i wish i was gay 
i wish for that happiness
i wish? must i may? 

Running Running
im running so fast 
away from my family
away from my past

running running 
i am so ashamed 
i am so embarrassed 
im a bottle of pain 


In this poem Brittnay uses the repetition of "running, running" in the beginning of every short paragraph. The tone of this poem is sad and seems like the author is not really in a good mood. The reason why I chose this poem is because it shows the reader that the author goes through difficulty in their life.
