Alone in Oblivion

Written in 7th grade.

The day is dull

And I am alone

The clouds look on gloomily

And they hide the sight of the sky

The angry wind pushes against

And they start to cry

Their tears speckle the ground

And the rhythmic sound of running feet is heard

As I look up dazedly

The tears of the sky blur my vision

Through bleary eyes I see

My world, as it flies by me

Only then do I realize

that I am running

Heads turn as I sprint by

I care not, and I pass into oblivion

I run doggedly onward

Until I can run no more

My steps falter and come to a stop

Time creeps slowly and in my daze

I see the lush grass coming to meet me

Yet it comforts my collapse

Motionless I lay, no will left inside

Darkness embraces me, and I welcome it

It soothes the pain, for the moment

The day comes to a close

and I am all alone
