"You keep it a secret. Keep it tucked way inside you, nestling in the rotting pieces of your heart. Just keep running. Go on. Run. Faster. Faster. That's it. Don't worry, your legs aren't tired. Just keep running.
Feel the rain pour down upon you. It's the only thing that sees you in this midnight glow. Just keep running. It's burning inside isn't it? Burning so much that the only way to let it out, is to keep running. Faster and faster til your sneakers are running only on the water, failing to meet the ground again.
Keep running. Let the rain soak through your hair, rinsing away your pain. Go on and cry. Cry your eyes out and never stop running. Close your eyes and place yourself back in the moments that tore you apart. You do it every time. Just keep running.
Turn the corner and run faster, tripping on your own pain. Stumbling on your own fear of pushing yourself over the edge. Just stop and fall now. Fall to your knees. Throw your face in your hands and let the tears flow. It hurts doesn't it?
Now get back up and start running again. Let every step represent every attempt at gluing your heart together, only to have it shatter before the last piece is placed. Let the tears fall. Each drop releasing the pain hiding behind them.
Open the front door. Stop and look at your parents. Don't forget to smile.
"Oh honey, you're soaking wet! Go upstairs and change before you get sick."
Safe. She didn't notice your tears that blended in with the sky's pain. Congratulations on your success.
Again.
Amazing how we all do this and never even realize. Good luck with the next battle." -unknown
