Can’t Outrun Yourself
While walking home one night I felt as though something was following me, but I thought maybe i was just being ridiculous so I just kept walking. Suddenly I hear the sound of footsteps, but when I turned around I didnt see anything. Weird right? That’s the same thing I thought. I just ignored it and kept walking down the road. Next thing I know i feel this cold burst of air breeze past me. “Wtf”? I thought. I had no idea what was going on. I look behind me and I don’t see anything. I look on both sides of me and still not one thing in sight. Then as I start walking again I bump into this shadowy figure I look at it but I couldnt really see the person’s face. Next thing I know it disappears right in front of me, shocked by what just happened I got up and in a hurried pace started to run home. “Man i must be dreaming”. “This can’t be real.” That wasnt even the weird part all of a sudden I hear some weird voice. “Carlos Carlos” Then it would go away. I just kept running but the voice didnt stop. “Carlos, Carlos. I kept going then all of a sudden it stopped. So I stopped. I know wht u thinking. Why would u stop in the middle of the street in the middle of the night when some weird shadow thing is after you? That’s just it idk why I stopped thought i was ok i guess, so I stopped and looked behind me and I saw nothing, I looked on both of my sides and still saw nothing then I look in front of me and sure enough tht black shadowy figure is standing rite in front of me. “Who are u?” I asked. “I’m you”, he said. “What you can’t be me” “I’m me” “There can’t be 2 of me unless i have a twin idk abt”. But the glow from the little bit of moonlight tht had been in the night showed he looked exactly like me. Same nose same mouth same voice and everything. “I’m you and u can’t outrun me.” Then he disappears again. But had a revelation after tht. You can outrun anything but you can’t outrun yourself. You have to deal with yourself more than anyone else. You have to deal with the choices you make, your regrets, your emotions. You can be your best friend and your worst enemy. Never convince yourself tht ur a nobody. Ignore what anybody has to say abt u. Live for yourself and God because at the end of the day u have to deal with YOURSELF. I hope this makes sense cause it came out alot differently than it was in my head.
