I walked down that lonely road <br />That sinuous, torturous bend <br />You know how I hated <br />The cold, the distance, my thoughts. <br /> <br />My thoughts flew back and forth <br />Like a mad bird blinded by the light <br />I was lost; I was lonely; I was in pain <br />A mad bird was I. <br />There was no way out of this blundering <br /> <br />Floundering directionless path to nowhere. <br />There was no way out and the how and the whys <br />Were the least of it all. <br /> <br />I was like that mad bird in full, haphazard flight.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mad-bird-was-i/
