Escaped and Captured

Running 
Trying to escape 
This horrible past
That's eating you alive
Closing in on you
Like you're a deer
You're painful past the hunter
Trying so desperately to gain control
Cornering you
Just when you thought you got away
Run!
Faster!
He's coming for you
You know he's there
Lurking in the woods
Waiting...
Just waiting
For the perfect moment to shoot
For the ability to take you down with one shot
You run
But he's still right behind you
You run faster
Yet he's still there
You can't escape him
So you just accept it
You stop running
And he shoots
You fall down
He thinks the chase is over
But just when he is on top of you
You fight back

You get up and run
Running
Trying to grasp your future
This bright future
That's giving you hope
Cheering you on
Like you're a cub
You're future the mother
Trying so hard to make you feel important
Lifting you up
Walk
Slower
She's here
You know she's there
Standing in the open meadow
Waiting... 
Just waiting
For you to run to her
For her to be able to hold you in her arms
You stop
But she walks forward
You shy away
Yet she takes no offense 
So you accept it
You step forward
And she hugs you
You hug her back
She knows you will be happy now
She encourages you to move forward
But just when she is about to let you go
You hug her tighter 
And whisper to her
"thank you"
