Daily Freeverses
9. On a Cave Wall

She was heading down a tunnel
with no light

(no escape)

And yet it was a freeway
beneath her flying feet;
she couldn't stop
and wouldn't

('cause she was already trapped)

And her heart hammered on in her chest
as she reached the end,

But she made this decision on her own

(to fight a losing battle)

And she had to deal with it.

Life was the hardest battle after all
and she was hitting easy-street
and streaking to the end

(of the road)

And her brains would go splat
on the cave wall.
