lost

jump rope on the highway 11/14/09 arizona mike took it i feel it fits ;  )

standing in the middle of nowhere
nobody around except for my voice
i yell at the nothingness, hoping
to break some barrier, to let shine through this darkness
i am trying to walk somewhere
to take passage on a train going someplace, anyplace, as long as its not here
to see a face i know, but the faces i have encountered are blank and to stare too long i will lose myself inside their misery and despair
i am walking down a highway the cars that drive by are blurs ,almost like reflection of the state of my mind
never stopping, traveling to nowhere just a destination that carries a different name
i stop at aplace called rest, i try to look at amap, but the names are confusing, and everything points to here, so i check in
the clerk stares at me and then takes the rest of me, for a room with a hard bed , no tv
i took a cold shower then i left
i founnd outt i like the walking
i will travel until i am found
