Forward Sanity

All the better

To not strain emotions.

Reveal your thoughts

To me and I’ll

Understand then move on.

Movement in one

Direction keeps me

From being hurt.

Pain is the result

Of a void in time

Where movement has

Ceased and a

Standstill has taken

Over my mien.

Sanity remains my

Only ally in movement.

Cessation of movement

Creates a stopping point

For my sanity to get

Away from me.

Emotions take over

And leave me

Stranded.
