chasing clouds

 

here i am

standing still

while the whole world

spins around me

moving at light stop

i watch from my perch

i watch them

them going back

and forth

and for what?

another rejection?

another disappointment?

just one more lie?

here i am

standing still no more

i am with the world

and we are spinning around
