Always In Pursuit

As my heart runs away, my mind chases after, and in hand, always in pursuit, my pen follows close behind.

I...

I can't‐

Can't slow down

Can't slow the beat of my heart

I would if I could

My pen follows close behind-

My breath can't keep up

Neither can the world around me

No one can see through the smoke put up by heart

Chasing after my mind

My pen follows close behind

Faster around the clock than father time himself

But my hand, not so much

Taking its sweet time translating the chaotic rant of my thoughts

But not so nice and neat are the scribbles produced by the rush of words

My pen follows close behind-

Bold and italicized text

Give context to the motion blur of matters my heart is running from

Filling a page before the ink can dry

And faster than the tears can race down my cheek

My heart runs away

My mind chases after

And always in pursuit

My pen follows close behind-

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
