My mind is always moving, never staying still
Everyday I go through the same drill

I come across the inevitable trouble
It always pops my security bubble

I push it away as hard as I can
But it won't leave, I need a new plan
So I run; Hoping I can out run it
But I can't run fast enough, this I admit

This never ending exhausting race
Is one I can never end in first place

So before I can lose, I turn around
And run into it head on, tackling it to the ground.

© Antonio H., London, England

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
