Rhyming
Longer and longer the wait seems to be,
The closer I get, the farther I see,
my past gets longer, my future short,
a ship coming in without a port,
no place to go, no place to stay,
If only I could just run away,
Swim to shore, float at sea,
Nothing holding me back, yet I’m still not free.
Free verse
The mist surround me like a gray barrier from the world, yet the moonlight still bleeds through.
The trees above block out the stars, yet I still look up at the sky.
The cold breeze bites like an unforgiving wolf, yet I still feel comfortable.
The bottom of my shoes have been destroyed for years, yet I still walk.
The sounds of the night are as quiet as a mouse, yet I still listen to it’s song.
The bag on my back has been empty for years, yet I still wear it.
The exhaustion is heavier than the world, yet I still stay awake
The walk is almost over yet I still stay out.
