Moonlite Run

The Moon is high in the sky I am running through the forest I can't stop running otherwise it will get me. I keep running and running. I can't stop I have to keep running. My paws thud on the ground as I run. My breathing gets heavy. I pant my tongue hanging out of my mouth. It's getting closer. I have to face it or I will never stop running. I slide to a stop and spin around lifting up onto my hind legs and there it is. My past. It looks me dead in the face I stare right back and growl daring it to keep dragging me down. I see everything my first boy friend, my first big mistake, my great grandmothers funeral, the day i chose this path, the day I found out what I truly was, the day i went into the hospital, the day I found out my grandfather went into the hospital, the day i lost a great love, the day I realized i don't need to prove anything to anyone. I bowed my head and the last tear i would shed for my past slid down my muzzle and drop to the ground. Then I lifted my head and sang to the moon her lunar song. Then I looked ahead of me towards my future and I started walking.
