flight

you've driven thru the night
weary and terror-torn
the escape seemed impossible
and the thorns too painful
there's the pre-dawn light
but all you feel is darkness
drooping eyelids, sagging shoulders
you had expected happiness
but indifference is all that's there
there's a dash of pride though
you didn't resign yourself to fate
you chose to act
and the journey is now over

suddenly, the pain returns
the heart is held in a vice
and the thorns bleed you again
startled, you open your eyes
it's all the same again
you've come full circle

and then it dawns upon you
you can't run away from yourself
