Run


Run

 

run away

far far away

run until you can't hear them screaming for you to come back

run until you see the world around you darken

run until your legs give out underneath you

run until your feet abandon you

run so fast and hard that you can barely breathe and stand up

so hard that you have blood threatening to come up

so fast that you can't feel your feet

because you can't stand to see your dreadful reality

so run

run into the void
