There is no breath
That I can get
As I run
As fast as my feet can carry me
Away from the pain
Away from the danger
In a blind panic
I run for my life
My clothes are forgotten
In my bid for my life
I run naked and vulnerable
My feet battered and bruised
Why?
I don’t know
I don’t know how all this came about
One minute I’m happy and safe
The next I’m cast out
Stripped of my clothes
In the center of town
For all to see
Beaten with sticks and stones
I was sentenced to death
So at the first chance
I did flee
Now I can never go back
Tears run down my face
I tumble across a stream
Where to go, what to do
I can’t even think straight
My mind verging on madness
Every noise I hear
A threat, something to fear
Suddenly the dense trees disappear
Then so does the ground
I’m flying out into space
Nothing makes a sound
The last thing I see
Is a small flower
And I focus on it
The last thing I feel
Is being alone
And the chill of it
