I Dont Want to Run Anymore

Wall

I am no one
Yet I know everyone
I can hear you
Thrashing in your sleep
Singing off key in the shower
Crying silently at nothing and everything
When you think you’re alone
I’m still there
Ready to be your friend
I listen to you talk
Late into the night
But it’s never about me
I keep all your secrets
And ask for nothing in return
I never sleep
Not once in my hundred years
I doubt you even know I’m here
You see me every day
But never stop and say hello

I like the idea of the poem but I don't really get how it relates to the tittle? but otherwise I really like the creativity.

I like this... it's told interstingly and it's very relatable... well-written, a strong piece. Keep up the good work!

Check out my stuff if you have the chance?
