Faraway Places

 

Faraway places


Panting, gasping for eternity 

exhausted yet sprinting fast

I used to run to faraway places

attempting to leave behind my past


Peculiar, penetrating eyes at me

they follow everywhere 

oh, what a scare it is

living this endless nightmare


Shaking, shivering in terrorized air

the dark behind me ever so vast

they rejoice, glad in my despair 

the wicked demons from my past


Threatened, panicked 

I keep running ahead

just when realization 

stops me still instead


I come face to face 

with everything I didn't embrace

as the one thing I was running from 

greets me with a smile

it hits me with sudden chills

I've been running in a circle all this while


As my demons nudge my arm

they dare me to see

how everything I've ever run from

lay in fact, inside of me...

That Night

That Night One of my first and oldest memories dates back to when I was a preteen. It gives me full-body shivers to think about even today, as an adult.  It was a no moon night. As fate would have it, the entire town had a power outage. This particular night also happened to be the first time my parents let me live home alone while they were out for work. I remember shivering intensely. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I couldn’t even get myself to muster enough courage to grab a jacket. I had my head buried in my hands when my eyes caught the sight of something unfamiliar. At first, it was hard to know if it was just my sleep deprived self making up visions or something really was up.  As I inched closer to the broken wall, I figured it wasn’t broken after all.  It didn’t exist anymore! Kid you not, by this time I had lost control over my limbs. They simply felt like a few lifeless grams of flesh.  And I had a fair reason to feel that way! It’s not everyday you see...
