running all my life from something that could eat me up inside
and many may not know what this thing was and how much it controlled my life.
Some days were rough and I just didn’t want to deal and so I kept running and I wouldn’t stop until this feeling would leave me and I was at peace with myself again.
Things used to feel like this great pressure was always pushing on me and no matter how much I tried to push back it would win and I would become so weak.
I wouldn’t know what to do but, let this pull win and that it control me as I just didn’t care and life became so dull and my focus was way off and everything felt like I was in a storm.
And no matter how hard I ran way this feeling would resurface and knock me back on my butt and as I reached out it would help but the pull will be something I live with until this day.
