Run

Maybe, if I run enough
I can run all the fat off
purge it from my body
create finely sculpted legs
perfect, muscular chest
lean arms, hips, back
I can run myself clean
Run free from all filth
God will see me then
He will forgive, accept
All mortals cannot help
but do the same as He
I will be pure again
If I ever truly was
Finally I will be free
But will I ever outrun myself?
