Easier To Run

It’s easier to run
Than to stand and face the defeating sun
It’s easier to hide
Than to reveal all this pain inside

It’s easier to run
Than to ponder on all that has been done
It’s easier to fade
Than to dwell on all the mistakes that you made

It’s easier to run
Than to admit that you are the one
It’s easier to complain
Than to stand strong and face the pain

Life can be hard at times
And worry and pain can weigh you down
But keep your head held high
And your feet planted firmly on the ground
Draw your strength from in your heart
And trust in what you cannot see
Remember always that tomorrow will come
And no one ever said that this life would be easy

The End
