Running Minds

As I lay here silently my mind is running a race

Trying to make sense of what’s been.

People watch me as I run, but few keep pace

This isn’t a race to win

I’d close my eyes but the images are too vivid, so I’d rather lie awake.

Keep running with no end in sight

My minds the one that’s running yet its my heart that feels an ache.

But I’m told it’s called fight or flight.

Flights not an option so I guess I’ll keep on fighting.

Until there’s something to be found

For now I’ll take up writing

Until I can lay my head back down
