How to Find Nowhere
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
My heart bangs against my chest.
I am running to nowhere, fast,
To embrace nothing, no one.
Boom-ba. Boom-ba.
My sneakers slap the ground
In a frantic struggle to go, get away,
From everything known, understood.
Hah-huuh. Hah-huuh.
My breaths come in gasps
Trying to fill lungs but no air, no air.
Oxygen is scarce nowhere, here nowhere.
Click-clack. Click-clack.
Claws strike in harmonious chaos.
Claws belonging to no creature, no animal,
Running behind me now quick, strong.
"Easy. Easy now. It's alright."
I fall into consciousness alarmed but you're here.
With soft words and gentle kindness, soothing,
You bring me back from nowhere, nightmare.
