Fleeing the pain

Trying to escape the ghost that haunt

I run, but shadows follow, taunt

From all the pain that I\'ve known

Futility grips, a heart turns to stone

 

I\'m chasing freedom, but it\'s hard to find

A fleeting dream that leaves me behind

The pain I\'ve known, clings to me 

A heavy burden that refuses to be free

 

I run day and night, a desperate cry

But anguish keeps pace, a sorrowful sigh

No matter how far I flee, it stays

A constant echo that refuses to fade

 

I run through darkness, searching for light

But fear and doubt, they haunt my night 

No matter how fast I run, I\'m still the same 

A heart weighed down, a soul in pain
