As the center of a certain man’s pursuit,
I am haunted each and every day.
Others may experience this, but for me
It is a fear that has not yet gone away.

Though I may succeed in escaping him,
He will never escape my mind.
Whether I will stop running or not,
Is in my hands, a choice of mine.

It is just thoughts wasted on a minimal matter
My parents always lie.
The sprinting will continue,
Without a place on this earth to hide.
