Never Stop


I was running so fast

My arms pumping

my heart beating faster than my feet could ever travel

I’m going so fast

I can’t think about anything except moving

I don’t even know which direction I’m moving in anymore

I just have to keep running

Even as my legs tremble

And my breath rattles in and out

 

I can’t stop

I need this

So I don’t get the chance to think

I’m tired of thinking

I want everything to disappear for a while

And I want to forget who I am

No more:

Fear

Pain

Loss

Sadness

Uncertainty

 

Only this moment in which my mind, body and soul have one job:

Keep moving
