Square one

A Poem by Ghost47

I feel so bound and depressed. I tried to express my feelings here, to try and relieve myself of the weights

I ran and ran and ran away
Trying to find a place to stay
I travelled the world to find the place
Finding myself in this race

Running for things for other's sake
Trying my best to stay awake
But my thoughts were swept away
To make space for other's day

I try to look tough to fool the crowd
I single bravely and laugh out loud
But no one really knows what I feel
Locked my heart to pay the bill

I cry myself to sleep each night
To try and stay in this fight
To try and keep myself together
My confidence feeling like a feather

As I gave into my roaring fear
I felt my goal oh so near
And as I came to end my run
I found myself in square one
