Am I

to be scared 

for the rest of my life.

Will I keep running from you

or will I just face you and let the words out. 

Or will you continue to haunt my dreams each and every night 

or will I tire myself out every night and so the dreams don’t come at all. 

But how much longer can I keep living like this and not see any results and 

if I do see them will they last long enough for me to not be this way. 

I don’t want to run anymore and I know every time that I do you laugh 

and smile for you have defeated me so many time it’s a shame. 

Will I ever enjoy these moments again on my own or will you ruin me for life and once 

it’s too late there is no coming back from this moment.

I’ve been

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.

Daily Prompt: Spike

Each spike on my running shoes dogged into the grass as I ran.

Away from all the moments of pain

loneliness

slients

Hoping once I’m done the feeling of being overwhelmed would be over.

I run faster as the feeling of peace washes over me.

I fight back the feeling of giving up and push myself to the point of breaking.

And before my heart spikes any higher then possible.

I take a breath and get some water and cool down on my walk back to reality.

Nights

when I’m dreaming and I’m running all alone but then you come along  my protector.

At first I was scared of you my gray wolf but now I look forward to seeing you at night.

Your eyes shine in the moon light and I can’t seem to look away.

Your teeth are so sharp and white and sometimes you run through the woods with a silly grin on your face.

You’re my companion and I enjoy our time together. The forest is a big place but I know you will always keep me safe.

No danger is big enough to stop you from protecting me.

The dreams seem to continue on every night and I hope they don’t end.

But then one day I woke up and went outside to get my mail and I saw you on my neighbors sons motorcycle and I knew I had found you in real life.

As I got to know Sean I realize he was having the same dream as me and now finally together our nightly walks are always just nice.

Safe when holding your hand as we walk on the trail  that leads to a wooded area, I never sense danger or fear anything for I know I’m safe with you.

I run from you!

I couldn’t stop my feet from

Running a way so fast that day.

The only thing I saw was something,  closed to me and I freaked.

I didn’t wait to find out if you we’re a friendly or not.

I never looked back, even when I was far away and safe.

Somethings aren’t worth looking back on.
