Poem: Keep Running

I wrote this my freshman year in Spanish class...don't ask why because I honestly have NO idea where my inspiration came from lol

Keep Running by Asha
Keep running little girl, run towards the sun
Keep running and never look back for anyone

Keep your back faced towards the darkness, your face towards the light
Keep running and running ‘til the darkness is out of sight

Don’t stop to take a break, no matter how tired you are
For the darkness will consume you, and the light will be no more

And though your father may scream, and your mother might cry
Keep running and running, farther away from life…

*NOTE: For those of you who want to know, this is not about suicide. I mean, I guess you could see it that way because poetry is meant to be seen however you want to, but that wasn't my original intention. It's about a girl who's in a coma (I don't know why) and she sees "the light."
