Escape

Location

             
Running, running, running
As fast as I can go
They're coming closer still
My breath is running low
 
My problems are chasing me
I'm trying to escape
They're catching up now
Showing me my fate
 
I tried to ignore them
Make them disappear
It really doesn't work
They're way too near
 
They're beside me now
I see the ugly truth
I know I've got to face them
What's there to lose?
 
I slow to a stop
And take them all in
I must not run anymore
I can't pretend.
