Run

I tend to linger back
When I feel the monsters attack
Instead of running away from them
I sit silently
In the passenger seat
A bottle of my true self
And let the rush
Of the screams and panic
Cascade over my broken pieces

I would like to run to You
But I've convinced myself
That I cannot run fast enough
So I sleepwalk into danger
Hoping I'll be unconscious
Enough to the point
That I'll be numb
To the repercussions

But tonight, there was a change
The monsters were just as loud
But the twister I was engulfed in
Wasn't nearly as dreadful
For I had merely walked
Towards Your precious light
So You could surround me in peace
And guide me back
Through every shifting movement
Of the world around me
