Rush,

Let me take you on a Journey
with no beginning or end
I will tell you about myself,
but also of a friend.
Myself is someone buried, smothered,
and captured deep inside.
Who has struggled for a foothold
since the beginning of her time.
Forever surrounded by people who
would say. . .
“You will never make it, you will
never know the way”
Always in a rush, but never
getting very far.
Walking around with a head
full of stars.
Never quite seeing so therefore
not believing
That this friend could be so
deceiving.
She felt all along that things were
going quite well
When in reality. . . She was walking
with that friend straight to hell.
But, she would sit and tell you
how she had “found the way”
and how her friend could take
away all your grief and pain.

Now this friend who goes by
many names.
Who points many fingers
and causes plenty shame.
This rush that was a constant
rushing through her veins
who was a disguise from
being real or taking any blame.
This friend was an evil
which in her mind resides
who was always pushing
thoughts of good or
right aside.
Then,
Someone asked her
one day. . . “Why?”
                 “How?”
                 “Can you show
                  me that way?”
She looked up into the
eyes of her own child
and suddenly myself
was brought back from
The Wild.
