My mother once told me to stop running away For I have an act of doing so Avoiding my problems I feel only I create It’s impossible to know any different As a child I never stopped, for if a moment passed, I would be ripped apart So I run From my past The life I was given And forced to live Running from each decision I make Stumbling but never given up Getting to a place where I Can’t Breathe But I continue For the pain of facing what’s there is far greater than if I never stop running At least I know there’s no false hope Of being able to end For the only ending that will give me a break Would be the end itself
