Eyes open
Unseeing
My mind searches

Open door
First rays of dawn
New hope on horizon

Walking fast
Faster, farther
Air rushes in

Running hard
Breathing harder
Blessed escape from all

Feet pounding pavement
Throbbing head
Heartbeat loud

Pause
Deep breath
Sweat drops and tears

Where do I go
Why here
Purpose for my birth

My mind is searching
Eyes wide
Future is unclear
