drifting along
I allow my feet to take me
forward into the unknown
hoping for only the best
as i try to lift my head
only to keep it afloat as
my eyes immediately
look back to the ground
the weight on my back
grows heavy while the cloud
on my shoulders falls lower.
short shallow breaths define
my unsettled state
the uneasiness that is keeping me
i desperately close my eyes
praying to vanish in the
evening dusk fully blending
with the trees and thick air.
