RUN

cerry

Why is it that you're always running?

They asked...

Cause it's the only thing I know

I said.

I suppose its always been easier to run...

But what happens if I can't anymore?

What happens if I'm not too sure anymore?

What happens if my pain is far too deep to run from?

To hide from?

What then?

These all the questions I can't help but constantly ask myself?

Now what?

You can't run from your problems...

At least that's what they said,

Normally I would have said watch me.

But alas I've grown quite tired...

I WILL NOT RUN ANYMORE!

I thought I was running away from them...

I thought I was winning...

but then suddenly I felt stuck...

But it wasn't because of them...

I thought I was fighting them...

All along I was fighting something bigger...

Someone bigger...

I was fighting myself...

Funny isn't it...

All this time

my mind was fighting my soul for control!

I was busy trying to run away from them...

Hoping to feel better...

When all along I was running away from myself!

I was confused...

I was lost..

My mind was in deep anguish...

There is a saying..

"Where there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you"

I guess I can't run anymore..

Now I have to stand up and fight!

Will I win?

Will YOU win?

I guess we'll never know unless we stay...

Unless we fight!

These enemies within stand no chance!

Don't give up you got this!
