Safe Place

My heart beat's faltering I'm fading away If this keeps up Soon I'll only be a memory My foot steps are slowing I stop to catch my breath Why was I running When I wasn't being chased Running from my past All the regrets and mistakes But nowhere to go Becoming lost in the threads of time Engulfed in the memories Smiles and laughs Pain and tears Everything that got me to where I am now Questions unanswered And a tangle of lies Has it all been worth it Or is it just a waste of time I shake my head Clearing my thoughts Now's not the time To get caught up My breathing is normal And I've built some strength I start running again Searching for my safe place
