I Thought... Poem by Violet Warren

I thought I saw something in the breeze
then a rush of air came down and swallowed me
I leave paper trails behind me
but yet can not conceive these blatant things
don't believe in who you see

like a scarecrow I stand and watch
with my insides out I live and haunt
it's a disease that I've got
because I'm numb and have lost my heart

whoa

I'm so tired of running this lengthy race
my hands spell trouble as they tremble and shake
I am running out of time
I am running out of time for you

the straw makes up the hat that covers the head that left me for dead
