A little piece of me

a little piece of me - 24

My feet slap against the sidewalk

As my heart pounds

Everything is quiet

Nature makes no sounds

Blood pumps through my veins

As I blindly run

No destination

What am I running from?

I run from my fears

But nothing is really there

If nothing is chasing after me

Then why am I so scared?

I flee from my past

Before it catches up to me

I run from things

I want no one to see

All I do is run

Time is slipping by

And I just keep on going

I refuse to stay and cry

I refuse to break down

So I just keep on moving

But I'm running this race

That I know I'm losing

Reminders of my past come slow and steady

Like the lazy Spring rain

And I have to push myself harder

To avoid all of my pain

My fears are alongside my past

So I have to increase my speed

because my past cuts deep

my fear wants me to bleed

I run from who I was

And who I don't want to be

I've left myself behind

Anjie is no longer me
