What are you running away from? Literal or metaphorical. Fiction or non-fiction.

Run

My feet pound into the ground,

screaming in protest with each step I take,

I try to keep running,

but my feet start to ache.

My demons are chasing me,

their sorrowful cries ringing though the air,

they are trying to bring me back,

to their agonizing lair.

Run girl run,

a voice rings in my ear,

run girl run,

there are worse things to fear.

run girl run,

don’t let them catch you,

run girl run,

or say goodbye to the girl you knew.

My legs speed up,

i‘m flying up off the ground,

so long demons,

I am already deaf to their eerie sound.

I look back behind me,

as I soar though the sky,

the demons has sprouted wings,

my demons can fly.

“leave me alone” I wail,

But the demons continue their chase,

I considered calling for help,

but nobody listened to my cries in the first place.

I am 21 years or older.
