I run
Far.
So I can get away from it all,
So I can drown out the voices in my head,
That still tell me I’m stupid
That I’m useless and unlovable.
I thought they’d fade as I got older
As I left the ones who said this behind.
But the demons still chase me.
They refuse to leave me alone
Because I let them in when I was young
So now they’ve built a home in my head.
So I keep running
Faster and faster.
To see if I can outrun them.
Sometimes I can
Sometimes I feel like I’m finally free.
But then I stop and they catch up with me again.
I’ve got so far though
So I won’t stop now.
Those blissful few minutes a day
Make life worth living.
