The morning was warm;
It was the type of morning air to stick to your skin.My feet trudged,
Then trudged faster and faster.I ran.
I was running.My lungs were heavy and sore,
And I kept running,
My feet denying every step.My legs were aching and exhausted,
And gravity pushed my body down.My chest hit the concrete,
And my cheek scraped against it.I get up and my feet are unwilling
To move,
So I stand, waiting for nothing
To strike me dead.What am I running from?
What are all of us running from?
Fears? Demons? Happiness?Something-not someone-aligns it's body with mine,
Then everything turns black.They say you can't remember pain,
And frankly, they're correct.
