Running From the Truth

Suddenly pounding

I start to run

So fast

I trip and fall

Scramble to my feet

Look behind me

Your so close

At my heels

Reaching for me

My heart feels

As if it might bust

Beating so fast

I can't keep up

Feels like I'm in

Slow motion

You gain on me

Pounce, I'm falling

You laugh

It's all a game

But it's not funny

clawing at the dirt

You drag me out of life

Pull me under

I call for help

Screams cant be heard

Lose your grip

I'm free again

Running once more

Running from the truth.

Sometimes we run from the truth cuz its so frightening that we cant stand it
Some of us run from the truth and blame it on others, only cuz we dont want the burden
