No

Running, falling,

Slipping, sliding,

But still they keep chasing.

Climbing, sprinting,

Screaming, crying,

Inner demons smile.

Clawing, hitting,

Punching, struggling,

They throw me to the ground.

Restraining, trembling,

Quieting, stopping,

No, I will not hurt them.

Remembering the laughter,

Memories sweeter than life.

All the times together,

No, I can't take their life.
