I didn’t always understand it. But I listened. And that listening saved my life. There was a voice, not loud, not clear Just a pull that said “don’t stay here” No map, no plan, no promised sign Just my body saying “this ain’t right” I didn’t run ‘cause I was weak or afraid I ran ‘cause something in me stayed awake When logic failed and help was thin That quiet knowing kicked in When it’s time ..... you’ll feel it No alarms, no proof When it’s time ........... you’ll hear it Soft as truth Run when it’s time Trust that sign That voice was made to guide your life Some nights I left with nothing packed Just breath and courage at my back Didn’t know where I’d land or sleep Just knew staying would bury me Survival don’t look brave up close It looks like listening the most One step, one choice, one small yes To the part of me that knew what’s next When it’s time ...... you’ll feel it Even if you shake When it’s time ........... you’ll know it And that’s enough to break away Run when it’s time You’ll be fine That voice knows how to keep you alive I wasn’t crazy. I was surviving. And now ................... I’m safe. When it’s time - you’ll hear it And one day you’ll rest Run when it’s time Then you’ll find A life that finally lets you breathe again I’m here now.
