as the puppy chases it's tail

by Alexis D. - Virgo

i search for the right words
the right direction. 

i spend so much time searching,	
a constant journey 
and only find myself furiously
trying to catch up to the place i find
myself heading with no particular
ending, yet a very specific destination.

i have become as disjointed 
as my words
as lost as my mind …

i search for the right words
the right direction

stumbling…
into myself 
fearing myself as the dog
sometimes fears it’s  
own tail…

 
in this life,
in this world,
perhaps it’s best
to remember
there is no one who 
can do more damage to
ourselves…

than ourselves.
