Breathing Spaces

there are days when i
get the urge to run and
run and never stop

there are days when i
just want to get
out

i get restless and
tetchy
and i snap at people

and i have no
explanation for it

other than that
i need a change

a change of pace
or scenery
i don’t know

all i can tell you
is that i’m feeling
discordant
and i need to be

somewhere where no one
knows me

because
from time to time

i just need some
breathing space
