The Earth is Confused

By dark_sister

I wonder what I've lost.
Is that the panic beating heavy wings
against my ribs?
Have I nailed my foot to the ground
so that I can only walk in circles?
What is this fear?
What is this sadness?
When I should be making some sweet song,
I want to close my eyes and see only blankness.
Tell me what this means, dear.
You are the code-breaker and I've lost my key.
