Running as fast as I can
But I can still see that stupid man
He’s right behind me and I hate it
I can’t stand him one little bit
I think he will never go away
Every single frickin’ day
I will one day maybe get a knife
And swing quick enough to take his life
I don’t understand why
He is always beginning to cry
Yet not fully crying
It’s almost like I am dying
I don’t know why, why I chose the path
In which it comes back, and I feel my own wrath
But that little (edited by Moderator) never stops following me
I want to be gone and set free
Free from the hate and the pain
That guy puts on my heart and drains
Running so fast
Away from my past
I collapse
And with one last
I look up and see that man was me
Nothing but a reflection, can’t you see?
I ran from myself because I did not want to see
The reality that was to be.

Very powerful piece here, like it much.  Some very deep inner expression here, good work.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
