Shoes

He keeps running
run, run, run
Where are you going? 

I know him years ago.
Someone introduce me to him.
He was so happy.
They were so happy.
His life was here, never dimmed.
Besides, where to go?

Then he starts walking
Walking turns into running
Leaving her.
Leaving them. 
"I bring you along", to me he saying.
Lost, but keeps running.
Why? 
Where are we going?

He still keeps running
Only stopping
for crying
What's happening? 

I'm wearing thin
thank God he's stopping
without the crying
will he again smiling?

Hugo Novacek, 12.

I’m currently writing my first book. Still learning to write, to be honest. This poem is my way to learn how to build a character. So, this is a poem, which was written by one of the character, when he was 12 for his school assignment. He wrote this for his father.
