Escaping

I run.

I run to get.

I run to get away.

I run to get away from, me.

I run and I run,

3 a.m., dark country road.

I should be afraid, but I'm not.

I run and I run,

Until my shins ache, my body runs numb.

I run and I run,

Until I collapse, I get back up and

I run.

I run to get.

I run to get away from, me.

Mile after Mile, falling into tears,

I run and I run,

I've ran ever since, and

I'll run until...
