No matter how far you go,

You can never escape me.

I am the salt in the ocean,

The knot in your belly.

The sting in your eyes,

The weight on your heart.

I don’t discriminate;

You can be rich,

You can be poor,

You can be black,

You can be white.

It won’t matter to me.

I am the pain you feel,

Both physically and mentally,

The embodiment of your emotions.

The element you create.

You can run,

You can hide,

You can bottle me up,

It won’t matter.

I will always find you in the end
