<run.. run.. run!>
That word. That one word
changes my whole course.
My whole path. I walk along the lake
frequently and watch the ducks soar away freely.

I wish I was a duck. I wish I could fly away.
Sometimes I look down at my reflection and smile.
Other times I scream and run.

They're back again. Shadows of pain.
Shadows of anxiety. As I run I shout in vain
"Leave me be!"
