Questions, I Keep Asking...

*sigh* Here we go again...

Questions, I Keep Asking...

Here I am...

standing here again‐

looking off, into the distance...

thinking that I could just be gone in an instant,

waltzing with the wind...

wanting to run past the point at which my vision ends...

beyond the point of any return‐

never to look back

never to come around again

never to turn back

never to be seen again

but...

Here I am...

standing here, again‐

What's stopping me from walking?...

walking away...

off, into the distance-

what's stopping me from disappearing today?...

I'm neither holding on to tomorrow, nor yesterday

not this moment, nor any other

but...

Can I really escape?...

everything?...

I am desperate, yet hesitant to see

If I can truly get away

from...

everything.

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
