In and out

poem by: Emily Armstrong
Written on Sep 19, 2016 

In and out 
in and out 
Day by day and
Week by week 
in a trance
A daze
Our minds 
Stuck
In the inevitable cycle
Of life
Like the earth
Spinning
Alway turning
Around and around
Constant motion
Our bodies moving
Walking
Running
Spinning
Around and around
Our minds 
In autopilot 
Like a ghost
In the hall
Unseen
Unheard
In constant motion 
Living life as a lie
Walking 
Running 
Spinning
Lying
Still
Cold stone bodies
Still
