Running Poem by Trinidad Villafranca

I was running for my life when I realized I
had no reason to run if my time was up and done.
If I was to truly die did I want to die running?
I turned around to see what it is I was running from.
I turned around to see the person I was running from was really me.
I was running trying to break free from all
the chains the world has put on me
chains of deception, corruption and addictions.
Trying to break free show the world the real me
but, their eyes have been desensitized
Can't realize the lies we live in they give.
I'm running and there seems to be no end in sight.
I'm using all my might
I want go down without a fight.
I want let go give in to the lies of this world.
I got my heart, mind; body and soul
set on the place where I'm goon go.
I won't give in till I get to heaven.
I'm running this race at a steady pace I won't
stop till I see his face.
In my mind I see the finish line.
I wont stop being true to him he's been so good to me he set me free.
All of me I give to him as an offering
He's been there through all my suffering.
