Running

I needed an escape today
I packed my bag
And left
Not once did I look back
Not once did I have second thoughts
I kept on running
Running running running running
Till I turned my back and there was nothing behind me
I was lost to the world
My soul had found a home
I carried on running
My speed increased
I was lost
I turned back and I saw land
And not a living soul
I stopped
I looked up to the sky and I smiled
For the first time in 10years
I smiled
I laughed
I felt free
I had escaped at last.
