Wind shoots past my hood,

As blindess covers my eyes. 

Worry pinned in my heart--

Unkind thoughts swirl in my mind.


I keep my head down,

Black clothing flows through the air,

Tears drip down my body--

Hoping no one eyes me up.  


Pain shoots up my arms.

Screaming follows with the wind,

But no sound follows through.

My knees begin to wobble.


My posture always slumped.

Eyes keeping their distance.

I am weighed down

By a thousand of boulders.
