Rushing for the start, giving Rushing for the end, having whatever it takes none of what is needed too fragile for earth blinded by each event gaining all knowledge, carrying possessing no courage, feeling world on shoulders light as a feather
betrayed. left for dead. reborn. strength found. tested. seeing red. 1 floor up. still bound. fall leaves. crisp in breeze. open doors everywhere. winter comes stirring sounds refuse to see what's there.
