Run.

by KevSpeaksTruth

Run.Run. How Far… How far till it’s there Until the destination is reached Run. Run. Heart beat in your ears Endorphins drown your brain Body feels weightless Run. Run. The soles of your feet They move in sync with you Your mind feels so free Run. Run. But what from? From battered lifestyles? From effects of the drugs? The ones they force Claiming that it will help Your thoughts are off course You have created your own cell From anger, from resentment? To where and how far? Run. Run. Lord keep me going. Keep me driven Keep me lost in true moments Run. Run. It doesn’t solve it. It follows you everywhere Everywhere you go, you breath You are right on the tip Fighting against it all, you just want to leave Starring at that cup, one more sip Run. Run. Before it’s all gone Before there is no more Before all that’s left of you is a song Before opportunity closes its doors. Run. Run. How Far..

Im a 21 year old artist. I write poetry and dabble in music. This is my collection of thoughts. I hope you enjoy seeing the world from my point of view. EDIT: I am now a 25 yr old artist running my own studio. I’m still making music but I don’t do poetry as much anymore but I hope these can still resonate with someone out there. It got better for me just like it will for you.
