Chasing shadows

Like a fish swimming against the tide.
A bird hunting for a scrap of bread.
The eagle dying in flight.
Wondering on the Serengeti plains; lost and alone.

Like a child crying for her mother.
A junkie looking for the next fix.
A commuter looking for a soul.
On top of a car park looking down; despair and pain.

Like the rolling of thunder.
A freak storm unleashing its wrath.
The sunshine trying to pierce through thick cloud.
Feeling the harsh, beating rain thrashing against your skin.

A girl with a broken heart.
A girl looking for healing answers.
A girl once strong and beautiful.
Staring at a broken dream that was once hers.
