Some Things, You Can't Outrun
Dashing the other way.
Keep the demons at bay.
Leave them all behind.
Away from my mind.
Leave them from my sight.
Out of the light.
It isn't the last.
Vision of the past.
No matter how far I flee.
It won't let me be.
Even with a fake name.
The results are the same.
I feel it breathing down my neck.
Keeping me locked in check.
I'm not fast enough.
To get away from this stuff.

Beautiful poem. I’m sure we all felt like that at one point.
If you can’t outrun it-which never works- face it, fight it, and always remember that YOU are enough!
Peace and love!

It's just like glue. But I'm trying to get past it.
