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
