Never Stop

I never know when to stop running

Through meadows and deserts
Through mountains and oceans
My feet never stop moving
Never stop chasing
Never stop running
Never stop

I hear voices rise in horror
As I approach the cliff before me
They know I won't stop
Can't stop
Even with certain death ahead

With their voices in my ear
I smile
And pick up the pace
Moving
Chasing
Running
Flying
Over the edge of the cliff
My body hung in midair
My breath catching
The voices quieting
As I land on the other side
And keep running

  • What I Can't See

    The world looks odd without my glasses.
    I can see the details on my lunchbox
    and the tiniest specks on my computer,
    but I could not tell you
    what is written on the menu
    or what that poster on the wall says.
  • tired

    i'm tired
    it's an exhaustion that permeates my attempts to clear my mind
    wrings me out like an old washcloth
    leaves me feeling almost empty

    i'm falling asleep
    and every time I shut my eyes
    i lose a little bit more of myself
  • i am a universe

    if i am a universe
    then the stars are my personality
    the greatest forces
    in this whirling mass
    making me who i am
    so many aspects
    so varied, so scattered
    creating a shining light
    displayed for all to see
