Moving Forward

Moving forward in straight lines,
Turning round and round.
Holding out your hands forever,
Never gaining ground.

Spinning over in a vacuum,
Never getting higher.
Never knowing where the sky is,
Losing all desire.

Looking in from distant places,
Trying not to stare.
Knowing that you're there forever,
Trying not to care.

Lost inside amorphous forms,
In never ending rows.
Listening to your world escape,
And no one even knows.

Desperation squeezes tighter,
Darkness gathers round.
Crying out for your salvation,
No one hears a sound.

Tasting fear with every moment,
Sinking all the time.
Devils clinging round your shoulders,
Nowhere left to climb.

Evil thoughts are taking over,
Resistance getting hard.
Waking in the night to find them,
Catching you of guard.

Now your life is left in peaces,
What more could you do.
Everyone keeps running.
Moving forward without you.
