Fainting Goat

I step outside,

And look around.

I see the autumn leaves.

In hues of yellow,

Red and brown.

I see the autumn leaves.

As I watch,

Barely breathing,

Autumn leaves 

Fall from the trees.

The sun sets over the ocean.

The wind blows through my hair.

Voices float on the breeze.

I wonder, sometimes

What the world

Could've been like

If human's had not

Destroyed it.

I wonder about

I cannot sleep

Once again.

I lie awake

Wishing I could see 

The stars.

Instead I see 

This room and

Its hideous orange walls.

The walls seem to move

Closing in around me.

Sometimes it seems

Hard to understand

Why things are

The way they are.

But even if

We don't understand

All we can do

Is move forward.

Life has its challenges

My mind is fuzzy.

I can't think straight.

I hear a clock ticking.

Is it just in my head?

Do you hear it too?

I round a corner.

The cat waits there.

It watches me.

It watches me.

Nature's little miracles

The sky

The sea

The sun

The grass

Nature's little miracles

The birds that sing high in the air

To the fish that lurk below

The whales that sing their special song
