She was panting, catching her breath
As if she has climbed hills and mountains
She tried to fly to escape her predator
Yet she can't launch her wings
And remained a helpless prey
Run, run, she told herself
But she felt immobile
And can't even make a single move
She's about to be devoured
Crying for help from somewhere
They seemed not to hear
They seemed to be ignoring her pleas
And her predator was just a few steps away
She's stony terrified
And remained a vulnerable prey
Gathering all her last wits
She ran so fast, stumbled on a boulder
Then saw blood oozing from her thighs
Awakened by the pain
Thank God, it's just a dream.
*******************************
Please Don't Run
My mind seems empty
My pen is just as lazy
Why do you have to run away from me
When I have so much to express
Of the many things I regret
Please don't run away from me
Help me convey what is real
Let me share what I feel
To ease me of the pain
To keep me always sane
Don't run away from me
Though you always seem not to come easy to me
Just please don't totally run away from me
Just please don't totally run away from me
