Journey

Short poem

Has the time come, is my journey complete
the white flag is out, I admit defeat
Leaping off a cliff I'm in a free fall
with or without you I am through with it all

Emotions crash into me like waves of the sea
call me Rip, for I shall sleep against this tree
With any luck I'll never awake
til I can stop making the same mistake

Lock it up inside that padded room
Failure to clean my slate will lead to my doom
Escaping I run into the dangers that loom outside
I'm killing myself trying to trap it back inside

Looking for a way to see from behind this shroud
needing a feeling that will lift my head to the clouds
knowing that it is not for me to find
This is the start of my journey, leaving this all behind.
