Running

I’ve been Running from my melancholy

Trying to forget my unhappy memory

Living alone, doesn’t have a family

Crying out loud, because there’s no one to console me

Praying to GOD, to send someone who’s willing to be with me.

Willing to be with “SOMEONE LIKE ME”.

A someone who’s willing to comfort me throughout this agony.

I’ve been Running away from the darkness,

the darkness that's been trying to eat me, to eat me out of my sanity.

I’ve been Running from the beast inside me.
