Swirling bursts of wind
Whip all around
She begins her journey,
Her head facing down
A solitary thing
She walks all alone
Keeps her thoughts locked away
So no one knows how hurt she's grown
Doesn't want to bother anyone
With loneliness comes responsibility
She must take care of herself
On her long and arduous journey
Has no idea where she's going
Only knows where she's been
She must keep moving forward
Being a burden is a sin
The long winding road ahead of her
Will be very challenging to face
She presses onward quickly
As if she's in a race
Her pace is very quick
She's running from the sadness that she's known
She doesn't even realize
That she isn't alone
A man appears behind her
Wondering why she's running away
She looks like she could use a companion
He wishes that she'd stay
He yells out to her
"Do you need any help?"
But she was too far gone
To even hear his shout.
