I just keep running.

With each gasp I breathe a little deeper.
With each length I leave a little more behind.

And my heart pounds.
Harder and harder it pounds.
And it feels bound in my chest, like it's attempting to break free -
To beat its way out of its confines.
To feel free.

I just keep running.

With each step my heart beats louder.
With each beat my gait gets faster.

And my heart pounds.
Faster and faster it pounds.
Matching the rhythm of my feet, like it's attempting to flee -
Running from the cavity in my chest.
To feel free.

I just keep running.

With each mile I leave more behind.
With each mile I wonder why.

And my heart pounds.
Mile after mile it pounds.
Always compelling me to run further and further away -
Leaving a trail of worn concrete and dust.
To feel free.

I just keep running.

With astonishment my pace slows.
With wonder my heart asks.

And my heart pounds.
Question after question it pounds.
Racing with adrenaline and the urgency of my cry -
Where are you going...
To feel free?

I stop.

With certainty I turn and look at the stretches of road where I have been.
With clarity I am thankful that I have run this far.

And my heart pounds.
Slower and slower it pounds.
The rich beats speak of the darkness from which I have come -
But the future asks the past for no explanation
To be free.

My chest burns as my heart races to the finish that my feet have forgotten.
And slowly I see the light ahead.
Beckoning me.
Calling me.
