I wish I was not so fickle. Attention a razor thin line I use like a blade. Carving out a path immediately before me. But there are times when it becomes so thin it disappears. Then I am left to wander alone or find a different path. Trying to make up for the difference of…

I am trapped. Body bound in webs. Unable to move forward or go back. I cannot live here forever. The future would mean nothing but a slow death. Left to rot in the dark. *** In my shaking hands I hold a lit match. It could burn away my binds. Free me entirely. Banishing the…
