Hidden fortress of sanity

I'm running fast in this solo race
trying so hard to keep a steady pace
everything around me starts to  fade into a blur
 "keep going" i say , as i push my self further



Light? ...not even a spark
I will escape from this place that is so dark
where I'm headed, i do not know
I guess I'll see how far i can go...



The ground under me begins to crack...
I feel this soothing warmth upon my back..
this place is suddenly disappearing..
is this the moment I've been fearing?



I'm slipping, no, falling into nowhere..
then start to realiaze that I am there
the blur that used to linger here,
suddenly it is all so clear



This place is familiar, i remember it from when i was a child...
I know I'm home now, even thought it's been a while



I can breathe again, I've met the end of my race..
and i think I've  finally found my safe place.
