Run


I look to the skies as my feet take flight

My arms pump my calves move as one

As the backdrop fades so does my plight

Sometimes all you can do is...run

My legs are more than vehicals theyre my friends

Taking me past all the hurt and the strife

They are useful distractions-- means to an end

As phyisical pain replaces the tortures of life

Life is a gift but once its begun

It only gets harder from that very day

There will be times when all you can do is run

And pray that your problems all fade away

 But dont always look to run when youre in a bind

Or else you will never reach the top

And worse the more you run the more youll find

When you run for too long it becomes difficult to stop.
