The slow walk
February 23, 2009
Long black hair and chains from my belt,
a moonlit street is the path I walk on.
My heart beat's racing and I can taste fear in my sweat.
My ghost runs forward and my body stays in place.
I'm scared your scared we're all scared of this:
The moment when its time to make that choice;
the choice to take your path in your own hands.
I put one foot in front of the other,
and then repeat. I don't want to but I do.
I decide to stop myself from running away.
Instead I take the slow walk...
