i want to run away,
from my troubles,
leave this world behind.
but my fears
catch up to me
no matter
how hard i run
no matter
how fast i'm going.
they tap me
on the shoulder
grinning in victory
and they
pull me down
again.

Even if fear has caught up with you, don't give up your fight. Keep running! Who knows you may outrun it, and leave it in your wake...

From fear we run because it is not fear of something but fear we can not control the fear is us because we fear

So as we run but we carry our fear with us again.

Speaking from experience...when you stop running and face up to your fears you will find that you have what it takes to make it through....and you will find yourself saying..."it was not as bad as I imagined"...it is a process...James
