I am exhausted
The sheer thought of moving
Devours my being
Sends my mind on a whirlwind
Unable to stop the spin
Like an autumn leaf meeting its demise
I continuously spiral
Downward, toward the earth below
Watching as the distance between
Disappears, and I am one step closer
To the ground, where I can rest
For eternity
