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!
