Time and time again;

I flutter silently off the

Radar of forgotten

Reality.

Day in and day out;

I stretch my weary

Wings which carry me

Of life and death,

I ponder like a madman

Trying to figure out the

Truth.

 Stumble and fall,

I see blinding darkness

Oozing its way into my

Soul.

I flutter

I stretch

I stare

I run

I pant

I ponder

I see
