Run Aug 2013
You've got

Yours.

I,

Mine
Run Aug 2013
There's only


So much


You can do
When you have

Nothing

Left
I'm not gonna stop trying anytime soon
Run Aug 2013
It's something

I use so

Often

It is barely

Noticeable
Run Aug 2013
My body
Feels too small
Feels restraining


Then again
I suppose
That makes it easier
To control
Run Aug 2013
All laughs and smiles

A pause

Eyes narrow

Body quivers to contain

Pressure builds

Silence

A crooked smile

A sneer

Cold laughter

Over and Over

Echoes

Head throbs

Sighs

Freeze
Run Aug 2013
Sometimes
I just feel like
A soul
Dragging a weight

That is my body

And while pulling it
Along
Fighting to keep
Everything

On track

Not let that
Darkness
Take over
Again
Run Jul 2013
"Smile and others around
Will too"
That's why I smile
Don't I?

I do.
I did.
I tried
Even though
I might've well
Have died

Endure...

Frozen over
Legs numbing
Feet burning
Neck straining
Just five more minutes..
Five more..

Endure

Limbs aching
Temper shortening
Time running
Eyes closing
Annoyance building

Endure..

Gut sinking
Stuffiness building
Lung capacity shrinking
Body trembling
Insides quivering
Look around...
Remember? 
Remember what you said?
Remember what you
Promised?

*Endure...
I have a duty to fulfill. I cannot afford to stop.
