blind to the ragged rain
a wavering candle hidden beneath a cape
ghosts call for blood
as he runs to the foot of the hill
arms akimbo blind to everything other than to escape
a mission impossible to achieve
"if only it was just as simple to run away from inner fears"
If only it was. But it isn't. Conquering them is the only way through. Beautifully penned. :)
