Run

Another day passed me by,

And time failed on me.

The moments I was unable to grasp,

Those that define and let me be.

Several seconds that ticked away,

And all I care was what was ahead.

I forgot the lost time,

All the words unread.

I lost myself in the anticipation,

Of tomorrows that haven't emerged.

I walked on by,

As the call of the next urged.

I'm stuck in fast forward,

Too pained to hit pause.

I'm running from the unseen,

Of myself and the flaws.

I'm unable to find the words,

To stop along the way and ask.

I look ahead and its uncertainty scares me,

Like life's become some disagreeable task.

Hold me and don't let me run away,

Those arms I seek.

One's that prevent this craziness,

In whose grasp I don't shriek.

I search for solace,

I beg for peace of mind.

And by some miracle I ask,

Just to slow down and rewind.
