Running

This is supposed to be sung as a song.
My feet
hit the earthen ground
my breath
makes a sobbing sound
my heart
slowly breaks in two
my soul
fades away into nothing
because I'm running
Running away
from you
even though I don't want to
because running is the only thing I can do
to escape
My dark thoughts that chase me through the haunting wood
like every other fairy tale would
but this is real
maybe not for you
I only wish to seal
to seal them away
for my tears
slide down my cheek
my moon
slowly wains through weeks and weeks 
as I run
away from the world I knew
as I run
until my legs break and fall askew
as I run
until my eyes see a sign
until the stars really shine
until I leave my old life behind
I'll keep running
because I know
I'll never stop running
For you

    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    Our world is on repeat
    until everything is better

    Our lives are going to be the same
    until everything is better

    The same frequency over and over again
    lulling us to sleep.

    Endless nightshifts and worries
