Ride Like the Wind

Fleeing from the mistakes of my past, my only hope is to reach the border. I try to outrun the choices I’ve made and escape the life that led me here. Though I am filled with fear and regret, I can only move forward, toward that faint hope of freedom. My heart thunders in my chest, a wild drumbeat of desperation. Every pounding hoofbeat feels like a heartbeat slipping away, each breath a stolen moment. I have to keep riding, faster and harder, but I know that no matter how far I go, the shadows of my sins will follow. If I fall now, there is no forgiveness. There is only the dark, unyielding weight of all I've done…

 

...laying claim to me in the end.
