We Built This Path

Suddenly
I am riding in a rickety carriage
Full of other prisoners
Who are all enduring the same pain
As I am

And the sun
Is hiding behind a cloud
A cloud that covers the whole sky
In a blanket of 
Black

What did I do?
I feel lost
Like I fell
And now I have wounds
Some you can't see

It was summer
Last time I checked
But it feels like winter
There's a lot of cold wind
That wasn't predicted in the forecast

Suddenly
I am riding in a rickety carriage
Full of other prisoners
Who are suffering
Like I am

  • October

    October.
    Already?
    It still feels like winter.
    The orange of the pumpkin
    Looks like the sun
    And reminds me
    You don't know it's fall,
    Because you never saw the summer

     
  • Frozen Tears

    tink tink tink
    Standing outside
    The harsh,
    Cold wind
    Rushing through my soul
    And cutting into wounds, 
    The ones you can't see
    And I start crying
    Trying to hold back the tears
    But I can't
    And they come ,
  • Winter

    Cold winds tickle the trees
    As light snow falls quietly
    On the leaves of an evergreen forest

    Grass falls as the storm grows
    Winter whistling it's bitter
    Freezing songs

    Delicate patterns of frost
