The Doctor
He
acts like a child
excited
bouncy
but just a touch too manic to be
believable.
He has seen too much brutality.
He's running
He runs towards new planets
new species.
Runs until his muscles ache and his lungs scream for air,
he only looks forward.
Because if he looked back,
he'd see his demons nipping at his heels.
Demons run quickly but he shows them
Timelords can too.
He doesn't like reality.
He
runs to his companions
So fast that sometimes they notice
Sometimes they see the man behind the bowtie
But it scares them
humans are good at looking away.
Too used to his duality
He runs towards them
Because humans
With their lifespans so short compared to his
Will always run faster than he ever could
He has seen too much mortality
Sometimes he wonders
How things would have went
If he stayed still like the others
A thousand years and he hasn't stopped running.
Who cares about normality?
