An Endless Loop Decided by Fate

I shiver from the cold that nips at my skin

It awoke me from my crouched, huddled state 

I stand up on wobbly legs and begin to run again 

It's like an endless loop decided by fate 


The ice in the air pricks at my lungs

The standing giants towered over

No light escaped past their walls of leaves 

That fluttered down and casted a dark cover


I look ahead, hoping for an end

With burning legs and lungs I power through

Until I'm betrayed by my own body

Crashing against the forest floor, adding a new tattoo 


My arms wrap around my legs pitifully 

In a crouched, huddled state

Fear and doubt welcome me

It's like an endless loop decided by fate
