Did I run?

You ask the question
Did I run
But I do not believe you understand the question you are asking
The answer to your some what intriguing question is however
No I did not run
I did in fact walk if that makes it any easier on you?
Or perhaps if I had skipped you would find that lighter on the pallet?
Maybe you should explain to me how you would like the answer phrased
Then we wouldn't waste any time
Then I would look somewhat normal to you again
You could put me back in the box you understand quite clearly
And you would not have to worry about me any longer

For I fear with such a question
You do not wish to know me
I fear you do not want to know the trials I have been through
Sitting with my tennis shoes wrapped neatly in a box
For who was I to step out into the world running?
Wow... maybe I should have tried skipping?
