Drowned by the tide,
Wet, starving, and alone
A swarm of buzzing bees, ready to carry me home
My path is lit by moonlight
Motivation long left behind
Maybe this maze of disaster was all of my own design
When I started on this mission, was this what I hoped to find
My brain is fuzzy with confusion,
But, certainly, this can’t be aligned
As I crept along the hedges, I begin to look around
I wanted to be spotted
But could hardly make a sound
A branch snapped beneath me, sounds became more and more
In front of me, something crouches,
I refuse to open that door
The chase had not ended
I still had more in the tank
Courage and endorphins blended, my heart no longer sank
I’m bent in position, hands placed on the floor
Dazed and confused,
But terrified no more
I did my due diligence
I studied for the test
My instincts, and preparation, are trained for the rest
I took my final leap
Aiming to even the score
Too terrified to make a peep, my body began to soar
I held my breath, waiting for darkness to prevail
The situation was dire, I had nothing left to lose
Would I succeed or would I fail, I couldn’t yet choose
A few moments later, my question was answered at last
A breath of relief flowed freely
The time for running, now in the past.
My mission was concluded, the final curtain now closed
Energy depleted, my body waiting to ease
Sleep could no longer allude, so I drifted away, guided by the bees.
