running away

catefrances

running with the devils inside of me
i can't seem to get away fast enough
the faster i run
the further i run
the closer they get
i can't let them catch me
they're inside my head
so i can't get away from them
to still the noise
to feel the calm
requires me not thinking
not breathing
not living
how hard can it be
to stop the noises inside my head
they're with me all the time
my only solace is slumber
yet there they have free reign
can i keep running forever
when what i'm running from
never goes away
is always with me
inside my being
the faster i run
the further i run
the harder i try
to still the noise
to feel the calm
i can't get away
i'm wondering if i even want to
the voices inside my head
keep me occupied
give my mind something to do
something to hold on to
can i keep running forever?
do i even want to?
