My breath is uneven
And my pulse is racing
I can't seem to get enough air
I close my eyes against what I'm facing
My world spins
And I can't focus on anything
But my legs keep moving
Even as my ears start to ring
The blood rushes to my head
And I stumble then fall
I search for the strength
Fight the urge to curl into a ball
I start to sob
The intensity is stunning
But I can't stay
So I keep running.
