Stopped Running.

by Tenna D. - Sagittarius

They say it'll soon be over
soon they'll be gone
and I will be left with myself
as my only company
and alibi
once more

But they don't know
long after their taunting laughter has died away
leaving nothing more than a stirring echo
roaming through the membrane of my mind
I'm still left with myself
my greatest fear
my greatest enemy.

Long after I've lost the race
I'm still running
a race I'll never win
with myself.

One day I'll stop running
wallow in the guilt
and mercilessness
and pure black
that chases me with every step
grow colder than the moon
colder than the winter wind
that sends shivers coursing through your spine.

But as I lie in the blackness
I call my mind
voices coursing...
I contemplate if maybe...maybe...
I've already stopped running.

Reason for writing:

    Eh.
