Alive
When my thoughts are too heavy,
My feelings - too numb,
When my heart is unsteady,
And the tears start to come,
I put on my running shoes.
Tonight I can't hide.
I pace myself, breathing,
Letting go with every stride.
The melody of my footsteps,
The rhythm of my breaths,
Have synchronized into nothing;
A calm stillness inside my head.
I'm light as a feather.
I let myself fly.
The world is a blur, but tonight,
... I'm alive.
