People might think that my entire life revolves around running 

But what they might not know is that it revolves around running away 

I used to find it easier to run away from my problems

But in reality running wouldn’t lead me anywhere 

Until I had someplace to finally go

I was a storm that destroyed everything in my path 

Until there was nothing left 

And I didn’t realize what was going on

Until I had to come back and everything was gone

And the only thing that I wanted to do was run away 

Looking back I could only go so far

I grew tired

Tired of going to school

Tired of talking people 

Tired of running

Tired of myself

My brain was at the point of acceptance

I accepted I could do well in school

I accepted that I lost my friends 

I accepted that I was not going to get faster 

I felt like I was hanging on by a thread

But that thread was strong enough to make it to that line

Boom

It’s funny how I can remember nothing and everything at the same time

I can’t remember where I was going or how

I remember seeing the color pink out of the peripheral vision 

And I was no longer running for myself

I was running for my mom who could no longer compete after radiation 

I was running for my friend who I could hear telling me to keep going

Instead of running away I was letting go

And then it was over

The only thing left running was tears down my face

But these were different type of tears

After feeling numb for so long 

I finally felt something 

Good about myself

I convinced myself that I was not good enough 

But I am, because things might not always work out the way I plan

But I realized that once they do

I finally have someplace to go
