Walking

Breathing

Sweating

Endless.

The more I walk

The more I want to turn back

Forget about the entire journey

Like I never even tried

It was by my own will

My own thoughts that deceived me into this

I walk this deserted path with only one goal

Tears fill my view

Thirst takes over my voice

The voice I never used

Just a plant, nothing

There’s better here  

Now I’m starving

Keep walking

There’s an end to this

It’s where buildings rise

This is home

I look back on this journey

All the miles I walked

I covered everything

I shouldn’t fear anymore

I shouldn’t be clueless anymore

I should know everything

All of the questions I wanted to answer so badly

But when I look back I realize that through all of this

I never experienced anything

I was blind

Hungry

Hurt

Deaf

And through all of it

I still don’t know the desert

It looks as empty as it looked before

Because I tried too hard for the wrong reasons

Some things are there for a reason

Shouldn’t be fully explored

Just seen and appreciated

Accept

And move on.
