Feet always in motion
Pattern memorized by muscles
Left, right, left, right
Breath is short and fast
Suited for fast-paced motion
In, out, in, out
Heart is racing
Beat in sync with breathing
Badump, badump, badump

Then it stops
The feet freeze
The breathing slows
The heart copes with sudden change

Why was I running?
What was I running from?

I turned to face the unknown
To embrace it
My inevitable fate
