Running
Running away, Running THrough
Running past lost friends, new friends, enemies
Running

Running through a forest
Running in the woods
Running towards the light
Running from the dark

Tripping
Tripping and falling
Falling over, Falling Flat
Falling

Hurting
Hurting Badly
Still Hurting

Crying
Crying so many tears
Crying and Screaming
Crying

Looking Up
Looking up and Seeing Light
Seeing Promises when I look up
Life, looks up

Getting up now
Getting up in earnest
Getting up and Getting Away

Running towards the light
Running to Dreams
Running from pain, fear, regrets
Running

Never quite there
Never quite safe
Never all the way out
Never gone

Pushing
Pushing through the trees
Rushing past the branches
Keep Pushing

Smiling
Smiling and laughing
Smiling for being so close

Not out yet
Not out or safe
Not away yet
Not over

Running
It's all Running
Running from Dreams
Running from Me

I was given the task of writing a poem in exactly ten minutes. This was the result.
