running

She started to run
Not looking behind,
Her breathing quick
Her heartbeat fast,
Blood tickling down her leg
Blood stained her ripped up clothes,
Her face stained with tears
Her face covered in scars,
The night as black as ink
The stars playing hide and seek,
One hand in a handcuff,
One foot with a shoe,
Determined to go far away
Not stopping,
She's scared
She's alone,
Not knowing what's going to happen
Not knowing where she is going,
She feels like someone else is near,
She runs faster and faster
Running down the never ending road.
