I am running again
No end is in sight
Running from demons
Running from fears

I stop
Can’t run anymore
I fall
Crying and upset
I scream for help
No one comes
I am left alone

I cry until light shines
I am running again
Towards the light
No demons
No fears
Free as a bird
Safe from all tears

I was inspired to write this piece because of how my family likes to make fun of me. I can't choose any tags because this poem would mean something different to everybody.
