Running


Just keep running
I know this is not the way
But I don't think I have a choice
For the rest of my life I will be running
Running from what really bothers me
This is not the way
I have been told that time and time again
If i don't face whats bothering me
I will only get hurt more
With each second I breath
With each day I live
With each year I endure 
It hurts me more and more
But I will keep running
Because I do not want to face
The problem that chases me
It was not my fault
The problem came up 
It's their fault
They had to go and mess things up
I keep running because 
I don't want to face reality
So i will keep running 
Until it catches up with me
