Full Speed Ahead (poem)

[Perfect Soldier]

A/N: Okay, i'm not sure how much anyone will like this poem, but I think maybe people can identify with it. Something that people go to when they need to escape from harsh realties, no matter what tolls it takes on a person until you're too late to realize what you've done.

Full Speed Ahead

Carrying a heavy heart
The dull throb within my chest
Time is distilled,
Ragged breaths cut through the silence
A limitless boundary ahead

Push back the pounding in my head
Thought allude the mind
Faster, sore steps aching towards oblivion

Running towards salvation

Swift legs and tender soles
Fluid motion propelling me from the past
Solid strides sparing me pain
Never looking back, let the scenery hide by

Cannot be detoured, too fast to keep me here; a lack of atmosphere

Breath in deeply
The sensation of being alive
Needing nothing more than myself
Leaving the insecurity
Exhale
Accelerate me faster

Pain is now sensation; it's all I need to know

Gentle winds caress my face
Cool breeze teasing back blonde locks
A pleasant smile
I'm caught in over-drive, there's no way I can stop
Setting a rigorous pace

There's a deep yearning stirring in my soul
My body pulsates
So far gone,
Trying to race into tomorrow

Bursting through with all that's left

The ground is moving too fast
Burning with desire, a girl on fire
Surface ripped from beneath my feet
Reality crashes down

Dark pavement meeting my head
Expelled my soul
Wretched sobs shake my body
Spinning violently out of control
Sad expressions and dizzying lights

Don't look at me with those sad eyes
Ran so fast I transcended my pain

I've reached tomorrow, so I smile

end

all right, still weary about this poem, but I guess i'll see what you fine people all think
