RUNNING

 
Running but you can not
Escape yourself
Lying while knowing the truth
Kidding no one but you
Look in the mirror
The lies you have told reflects
From your eyes
All alone the truth daunting
The lies haunting
Who is that shouting?
Conscience trying to be heard
Is the guilt too heavy to carry?
Self-hate creeping
How many people have been hurt?
Time will tell
No way to escape
Nowhere to go
Everything you do
Goes with you
Was once told
Never do anything
You cannot live with
Those words haunt you now
What the hand commit the
Body must bear
The pain running through you
Makes them words your reality
Trying to run but your mind
punishes you
