I ran.
And ran.
I don't remember how long
Or where I was going
But I remembered what Ummi told me once
She said if I ever had to run
To run like nothing else in my life mattered
Not her
Not Abba
Not even
My own
Thoughts
So I forgot them
And I ran
And I didn't stop
Not until I had ran into a building
Left with the door ajar
And I went up
And up
And I went somewhere small
And cozy
And warm
And I fell asleep
Adrenaline still rushing through me
Making me pant in my sleep
Forcing me to curl in on myself
Scared of the world around me
