Hurtling


 

Feels like I’m hurtling full pelt

down a tunnel into darkness.

Speed increasing,

as the walls

blur past me.

Pulling G's

my face contorted madly.

As I scream into the void,

the empty dark vastness around me.

My brakes squealing but

offering no traction

or resistance. I’m unable to slow

or steer the wheel

to where this path is leading.

 

I feel a slug of unease

crawling up my spine.

My skin marked

with goosebumps of fear

at this aching chasm of time

that I know is circling me.

I’m scared that I’m losing my identity,

my individually, my unique creativity,

and being replaced with a clone,

a mimic of who the world

thinks I should be.

 

In the darkness

I see signposts,

happiness

flies past too fast

to catch the turn.

I missed hope

a long time ago.

The destination I see repeatedly

rushing towards me is

alone.

Just a single pebble

on an island of stone.

 

But is that so bad? I think.

My own company,

my own space to sink.

Is it the worst thing?

to be able to link with my thoughts

And get myself back in sync.

And whilst I’m there

is it possible

that I’ll find I’m not the only heart

that beats in the air?

That maybe I’ve just been

in this darkness too long

and I never noticed

the other faces

that were sat here all along.
