Lost in the midst of an autumn breeze

Folder: 
1999

She tilts her head up towards the autumn breeze,

The leaves are moving with a wind that blows her loose strands of hair upwards - untouched, wild, and free -

the way she used to be.

She closes her eyes and remembers

when she used to belong - safe and happy

Simple, innocent contentment

The leaves keep falling as she remembers,

each one a memory;

Laughter that used to be true

Friendship that used to be real

Acceptness that had no limits

Her eyes open again, slowly

She keeps on walking

Looking with eyes so helpless, so pleading

so scared, as if afraid

Afraid of not belonging.

No, afraid of belonging.
