Out of Time

Take pity on me as I linger I look both ways but find no solace. Rushing, racing I speed away but straight into a tree is where I lay... I stumble and fall. I'm out of time. I am pushed and shoved and pulled astray. Rushing, racing I speed away but straight into a tree is where I lay... They snicker and mock and storm ahead. To find their next victim to fool and hate. Rushing, racing I speed away but straight into a tree is where I...lay... For the contest (I can't breathe, a peaceful protest...) Meg Anderson 11-20-14

A dead end street can be rebuilt. And then the traffic flows. A vision into what's ahead is what one hopefully knows. Peace. :)

Thank you. This was written about a dark time in my life when I was tormented in school. I write for myself and write for awareness.
