run free

fall begins to settle in the bones; changing stature, arming defenses.
preperation against cold times ahead begins to take ground.
becoming my own shadow-mimicking past versions of myself,
from a different time, a different place.
i want to break this cycle, this running through the motions;
i want to break this wide open and run free.
i want to feel a new wind, taste a new sight with wide open eyes.
i want to breathe a new scent for the first time.
i want to shatter all preconceptions
that life is worth living while constantly judging.
i want to see to see the world...
through the eyes of all others.
i want to feel what all others feel.
and carry all burdens upon my shoulders...
and continue to run...
until the wind cleanses the pain of the world.
