7 October 2012

In the deepening hours of darkness

I lost sight of my cares

And though I searched for them all over

I couldn't find them anywhere

I panicked almost straight away

I ran around in terror

But this wasn't helping me

I wasn't getting any closer

So I stopped what I was doing

I stood so very still

I could hear my own heartbeat

Down my spine ran a chill

I realised what I was looking for

Was not what I really need

I walked away from it calmly

Hope had planted its seed

I knew what I had to do now

To leave it all behind

I had to go back to the beginning

I needed to rewind

I found the root of the problem

And I knew how to throw it away

I had to run from the issues

I had to go back to that day

So I ran home and packed my bag

And left without a word

No one noticed that I'd gone

No one even heard

I ran to the top of the grey hill

And scurried over its top

Making my way to the city

Listening out for the cops

I had still had a log road to travel

My head was spinning again

But I walked and walked onwards

Ignoring all of the pain

And when in the end I got there

I reached the city gates

I opened up my eyes to them

I forgot about the hate

I wandered through the tough crowds

I touched them as I passed

And it was then that I knew it

I was home at last.
