Running away from my own thoughts,
Running on a treadmill but not going anywhere,
My legs moving faster,
Arms tied behind my back,
Spaced out,
Hungry to feel myself going somewhere,
Wanting to stop but I can't turn off the treadmill,
Wanting to feel peace just for a moment,
Negatively swarming around me,
My eyes just wanting to shut,
Ears ringing,
Heavy breathing,
My heart feeling like it's going to explode out of my chest,
One more step; one more,
Can't stop now,
Knowing I have to do this again tomorrow,
Drowning out all the fuzzy noise,
Like a robot with no emotions,
Going faster every second just to feel accomplished for the day,
Not wanting to feel like a failure,
One more step; come one just one more.
