Why Can't You Leave...

Faster and faster did i run
Hoping to escape my pursuer
And in my effort did i stumble
He halted before me
And i looked up
Tears falling continuously
He smiled,
Jeeringly.
His conceit so apparent upon his features
I stood and pushed him away from me
Surprise formed upon his countenance
And once more did i run
Faster and faster, until i came upon the banks of a river
Unhesitatingly did i jump
Looking back just once
And there he stood
Taunting me with his eyes
The icy water stabbed at me
But i felt no pain
I long for a freedom
To escape from all that burdens me
And so does the icy river serve my purpose
To numb the pain
And chase away my attacker whose name is reality.
