Running

Running

written by: Rayna More

 

I wish I could stop.
Just stall,
for a moment.

Time is flying by,
faces,
swirling past.

Why can’t I stop
running,
running,
running.

My feet,
slapping hard.

I’m so fast
nobody can see me.

Blisters engulf my toes.

I try to grab their hands,
but I’m too fast,
already gone.

Gone,
gone,
gone.

Gravity can’t hold me,
won’t slow me.

I just can’t stop running.
