Wind
by Sylvie Xu An unfortunate soul adrift amidst the sea of voices As I roamed forward and back A forked path unwinds The wind caresses my legs My arms My chest My heart Left or right forward or back Trapped inside a labyrinth Nowhere to go and nowhere to hide A warm hand on mine Or was it just my imagination As i try to hold on to happiness as fleeting as wind It vanishes into the air as if it never existed Why me Isn’t that the question of the century one step forward Down a path I never knew existed Stained with bloody tears Since when did I start to care so much The red strings of fate strangle me till every bone in my body screams in agony My glass heart aches as a bitter silence settles in my chest And so I let go No longer will I be stuck at crossroads No longer will I hurt No longer will I be the person you want me to be |
