Not far behind,
it's chasing,
I stay a few steps ahead.
Running from,
can't afford to be caught,
in dreams at night,
during the day in sight.

I Rounded the corner,
knowing it was right on my hills.
I stopped and waited,
weary and tired,
this is it!
I'm not running anymore.

As I stood waiting,
I heard its footsteps.
Just as it approached,
I jumped out.
It ran right into me.
We wrestled and fought,
the earth shook,
the dust flew,
everything around,
fell to the ground.

As the air cleared,
I still stood.
Right in front of me,
it stood too.
We were eye to eye,
it couldn't beat me,
I couldn't beat it.

The fight was a draw.
Now it walks beside me,
cool and calm.
I walk on,
never to run again.
It understands me,
I understand it.
It knows I'm no longer afraid,
I know it never could be afraid.

We respect each other.

Sobeit.
