Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition
Pricking my face,
my body,
my bones.
Here I am running, all alone.
The crunch of my feet,
The brush of a tree.
Here I am running, longing to be free.
Here I am running
from trouble,
from strife.
Here I am running, from my horrible life.
The road ahead,
winding and long.
I have to keep running, I have to stay strong.
