Run

Everyone has something that gets them through the day.

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.
