Do you feel it?

Guilt weighs you down

The wind whispers in your tired ear

As you start to drown


Do you feel it?

Exhaustion grabs your wrist to pull you 

Like the longest roots on a tree

Have you come too far to start anew?


Do you feel it?

The cold creeping in

After the warm summer has gone and left

You try to cover it with a grin

But you cannot hide forever


Do you feel it?

The graceful wind howls your name

Begging you to lay down

To let the winter engulf you


Do you feel it?

You bow your head

Not wanting to understand

That the golden throne before you is built on lies. 


Do you feel it?

You keep your eyes closed

To stay blind to the truth

Until someone took off your  heavy blindfold

your eyes were hurt, not used to the sun

But over time it will get better.
