Running
Eye lids heavy
Equivalent to cement
Arms hurt to move
Legs paralyzed yet in pain
My head practically numb
Besides pain I can only feel the cold
The ice that seem to cling to me
I couldn't run from it
Not at my fastest speeds
The frost outside was a constant reminder
The moon and stars shone bright
As I sprinted for 10 miles
My lungs felt defected
Not taking in the amount of air
That I desired
Small sips of cool crisp oxygen
I ran so far away from home
That wasn't my home
I would never have a home
Not without my Mom there
The grass oddly comfortable
Not like a bed would be
But a thin foam bedding
Am I far enough?
That no one will recognize me
That I can start over
Does it matter?
I can't run anymore
I mine as well die here
Under the stars
In the shimmer of the moon
I want to die here
I want my home back
I want to go home
With my mom
I want to die
Equivalent to cement
Arms hurt to move
Legs paralyzed yet in pain
My head practically numb
Besides pain I can only feel the cold
The ice that seem to cling to me

I want to go home
With my mom
I want to die
