Wall after wall
I smack into
But keep running
Although I'm in two
Don't take a break
Just keep running
Don't worry about anything
Stay sharp and cunning
Bam!
Another piece gone
Withering myself away
Until I'm done
When the end comes
I don't know
Just keep running
Jump high, duck low
Crash and fall
Get right back up
Tears on my face
As I slip on a cup
Faceplant
Into the ground
Try to get back up
But can only make a sound
'Just keep running.'
Drilled into me
Injured body, overriding emotions
A sudden want to flee
Distraught
Depressed
Delighted
Distressed
'Just keep running.'
No, I've pushed
Beyond the bar
Not to be shushed
Eroded to a small piece
Of what I remain to be
No longer myself
As all can see
Wet face
A bloody arm
And a scarred heart
Never too far from harm
'Get back up.
Just keep running'
Over the edge
Again and again, it's quite stunning
Every wall,
I break
Every bullet,
I wither away
Constant pain
Yet I'm here
'Just keep running.'
Thinking without fear
Believe the finish
Is nearing us
Then another wall
A relenquish of trust
Tears soak
My face
As I wait alone
For Pains embrace
