Homeward

My spirits are crushing -
Anxiety, blushing,
Giving words to depression's dissertation.

And in activity, haunting -
The threat is there, taunting,
Praying for a moment's isolation.

Through the journeys I'm hiding -
An escape that I'm striving,
Postponing that self aggravation.

But with darkness, approaching -
Lost minutes to poaching,
Coming home, the last destination.
