Running down a never ending road
signs all around telling me I'm lost
my legs begin to give way
my heart tells me to stop
my heart is pounding about to break
sweat dripping down my face
tears swell up in my eyes
the earth underneath me is rough
i slip and stumble but i get up again
i continue running
my soul is long gone, dead from pain
the throbbing embraces me
short of breath i gasp!
i continue running
the voices of the past fill my mind
memories replay over and over
my chest is being ripped open
tiredness sweeps through me
i continue running
their catching up with me, their not far behind
i hear them sniggering
their laughing in my face
i want let them in
i continue running
again my heart beats louder
gasping for more air
tears are falling down my cheeks
as my body begins to tremble
all i want to do is stay away from this place
i continue running
I'm running from the demons of my life
their coming to bring me down
take away the sunshine and replace it with rain
take away my hope and replace it with shame
i have to give in or my body will
i continue to run
my last hope is to out smart them
pretend i dint care, pretend I'm Happy,
i start to slow down i eventually stop and i being to walk
around the corner i turn
my heart beat slows down
my breathing returns to normal
i strip the layer of hurt and abuse
i proudly reveal the girl i long to be
the frown is gone a smile appears
and i walk of into the distance
for that split second of life i think i am free
defeated the sadness consumed among-st me
i think it worked to ignore and pretend
but they find me they always do
i gasp again for air
as my heart speeds up my legs start pumping
and again i continue running!
and again i start running
