I ran from demons
across my life,
through the forest
of my dreams,
down a path
which had no end,
or at least it never seemed
I walked,
I ran,
I swam,
I rowed,
across a sea
I never owned.
A wall appeared,
forever each way.
No forward,
no back,
I turned to face my prey.
My hands
began to shake.
My breathing
stopped.
Eyes shut tight
and opened once again.
To my knees,
I began to fall
only to face
a broken mirror on the wall
