Run

i am alone.
the streets deserted.
i hear nothing but the sound of my breath.
the day is no more.
my sight darkens
nothing to hear
very little to see
but the smell is still there.
steady pace 
tap, tap, tap
feet hit the pavement.
music plays in my ear.
growing need to rest.
push on,
self encouragement,
motivation,
breathe,
darkness,
silence,
run.
