Running Out by Geoff Doner

Running Out

A shudder shakes me
As a mind wind rises
Thoughts clouding up inside this
Keeping company with Key, Ohgr, Balance
Ka-spel, Cure and 93 Nurses
Complete withdrawal from the people I know
Who have I become?
I no longer know

In this chrysalis, suspended inside
Breaking down all the built up lies
A seed in darkness needs to be nurtured
Transform its being and rise towards the light

“Get a grip!” I know!
“Be responsible!” I know!
But it’s hard to find the ground
When I feel like I’m sinking

I have a memory
Of cemetery sites
It was there my eyes opened wide
From the aged down to the infant
Stones for those that have not yet died
Food for digestion
Definite impression

My time is running out

To my family my dear friends all!
It's been a while I miss you all!
I've been away fighting demons in the shadows
Terrified to be in the light of the day
Searching for the remedy
I focus all my energy
To turn around turn around
All my thinking

Shine a light into this machine
Shine on everything that can be seen
Until there’s nowhere left for the shadows
Nowhere left for the demons to be

I’ll drop my weapons
Cast off this armour
Sound the alarm
Our time is running out!
