A resentful outlook on life
never did me any favours.
I'm starting to reconsider
why I'm here.
There is something not quite right.

I'm now halfway up.
On a staircase that leads to
back where I came from.
There must be something more
out there for me.
The room was emptied
a long time ago.

I would like to hear
my own voice.
Recognize the type of mood I'm in.
Why am I still here?
I should be in the lead,
sprinting off into the night.

It feels like I'm testing you.
But I need to know
if you're by my side.
Or if you're nowhere to be seen.
See what it does to me?

I lack the concentration skills
to chase this problem out of town.
Perhaps there is a small chance
that you are testing me.
