Feet pounding against the pavement
In sync with my racing heart.
Everything seems to disappear.
The stress, the worry,
Heartbreaks and bitter memory.

The world goes by in a blur,
My own harsh breathing
Resounds in my ears.
I hear music,
Inside my head.
The rhythm keeping time.
The bass blasting and seemingly
Drowns out every other noise.
Though I have nothing in my ears.

I breath steady,
In through nose,
Out through the mouth,
My pulse racing
And for the first time is days
My head feels clear.

I am flying,
No longer touching the ground,
How far have I gone?
I don't dare look at the watch
adorning my wrist.
I just
Keep
Running.
