Don't Fight It
March 13, 2013
Staring straight ahead
running, panting, sweating
not looking back
reminding myself to breathe
the crunch of the leaves on the ground
fill my ears as I gain speed
suddenly I'm back where I started
gusts of wind take over
as I begin to run in the opposite direction
I tripped on a branch
stumbled and continue to run
but it creeps up on me
pushes down on my back
causing me to fall
can't run away
or hide
it hisses in my ear as I admit defeat
you can never run away from the truth.
