The wind
Whooshed in
Throwing me this way and that
Watching me struggle
Watching
Watching
Always watching
Never saving
I try to run
But the wind always catches me
Pulls me back by my hair
I can't escape
This is my fate
Whooshing in
Like love for someone
Creating a distance
Between truth
And trust
Watching
Watching
But then it stops
I suddenly can move
The binds of leaves
Let go
I rub my arms
Surveying the land
Watching
Watching
For the wind to come back
But it never does
Only a gentle breeze
Reminding me of my past
But never pulling me back
To the dark place I once was
But will never go again

Wind tries
To pull me back
It is trying
To change my path
Again
Leaves start to bind my arms
Leaves absorb my sight
The world starts twirling
It feels like a relapse
I twist around
Trying to see
The light in the tunnel
But there is no light
Because I am the light
I can choose my path
Leave this wind
Pulling my arms and legs
From the leaves
Tugging
Tugging
Finally I'm free.
