Pain
It hurts
It hurts so bad
My legs are trembling
My heart is pounding
I can’t stop
I can’t stop now
I can’t stop later
I can’t stop tomorrow
I have to keep going
I have to keep running
I have too
Otherwise it will hurt more And
I can’t stand the pain any longer.
I have to run;
I have to keep running
I can’t stop
I can’t stop to eat
I can’t stop for the washroom
I can’t make excuses
What am I running from?
