Running Option
The salty sweat dripping into my dry mouth
My heart's beat in my ears
Head throbbing to the same beat
My whole body is running
Sprinting away from my world
That was falling apart anyway
Turning back will never be an option
I must keep going and not stopping
Otherwise the world I left might catch up
Numbness from running overthrows my thoughts
Which is what I want
If my past pain catches up there will be only one option
That I try not to think about
I'll just keep running until maybe
My old world will repair itself, and I can be happy
But until then I will keep running
To some unknown destination
Where maybe light will come into the dark world I left behind
