I RUN by Queen Lizzie (Kitteh)

run as fast I can, my heart pulsing violently in my chest. It's all falling away, it's all melting away. The wind breathes on my face, but I run faster. It's my time to say goodbye, to let it all slip through my fingers. Tears well in my eyes, because I know in my soul that it's time to let go. My heart beats like a drum keeping me at a run, nipping at my heals, scolding me further. But I slow in my flight. I stop and turn my face, methodically, a slow blink, and my jaw falls lightly. "is this what I was running from?" the sun greets my eyes, I look away, blushing, it's as if the sun is my comforter calling my name. The birds fly past me, brushing against my hair, I giggle, they whisper, "come." I look further still, there is no path trampled from which I came. Spinning my arms outstretched, I'm all alone. Is this the place I was afraid of, is this what captured my fears and my sorrow? If this is loneliness let me stay here. Now no matter which direction I run I feel in my soul a warmth, my course is for the wind to decide. And peacefully my clenched fists loosen and satisfaction sweeps across my face, a smile raising like a flag. Voices serenade me in my spirit, I whisper syllables of satisfaction. Allas,There is no tomorrow like today.
