Running away

Going faster and faster, I keep running.

I feel the rush of wind as I pass by not daring to stop.

My feet feels tired and sore but I just keep on going.

Every time the thoughts came, I run even faster.

Making sure that these tears wouldn't fall. 

I am running away from the memories.

Away from the pain. 

I can feel my body slowing. 

Each step is brutal but I never stop.

I do not want to stop.

I sense the thoughts catching up to me 

And I desperately willed my legs to move. 

But my body had enough.

My legs wouldn't budge.

I let the tears fall as I slowly tumble down from exhaustion.

I could feel the thoughts coming closer and closer. 

Ready to break me.

Wrapping my arms around myself like a baby, 

I welcome the pain that came with these thoughts.

I grit my teeth and clutch my heart as the pain engulfed me. 

In my painful moment of breaking apart,

I sense someone coming closer.

He lifts me up and carries me like a fragile little baby.

And as I open my eyes to look at this stranger,

Staring into his eyes, 

I felt my soul finally die.

My nightmare finally caught up to my reality.
