The Running Maid
The maid went out running today
When she runs
Is she running from her thoughts
Is she running from herself
Hoping not to get caught
Is she running from the man
Or all the things she doesn't understand
Running down the things that stop her fast
Bottling her love, with love in a bottle
A bottle of fuel to withstand
Continuously running from the past
The things that make her happy
Never free at last
The lights go down, down all around
Sheltering the night
With a little light inside
Sheltered she hides
Never taught to risk
And never thought to dare
Pressure of the failure to come
Spoken to her everywhere
Run, run, run, life will wait
If you don't take its risk
Failure won't happen, but don't you dare
Run instead of hide
And not to be sheltered inside
