You have to keep running.
You have to keep going.
You can't stop.

You have to move quickly.
You have to move swiftly.
You can't stop.

You have to fight through the pain.
You have to fight through the tears.
You can't stop.

If you want to live, you can't stop.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this poem after reading Night by Elie Wiesel. The book was a first person account written by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor.
