Running Away
The blood in my veins freeze,
the breath in my chest comes to a rapid halt,
the atmosphere changes,
I am made of stone - and I run.
I run as fast as I possibly can;
away from the possibilities he lies out before me.
Away from the fears that echo like a song in my mind,
over and over and over and over and over
until I think I'm going to go insane.
I run from the dangers that come with trusting another being,
from the chance that I could be wrong,
from everything twisting and turning and forming in my mind.
And for a moment I am Titanium.
