Traveller Left Behind

Traveller Left Behind

A group of four we travelled
In a barren land; yet to be filled
At the beginning of this journey
You three stood ahead, side by side
With me observing from the back

At a calm pace we walked; no rush
The footsteps that you made
I gently walked in them
All good at this moment; I could follow

Then, as if on an errand
You quickened your pace slightly
I adjusted my pace to suit
In this same rhythm we continued on

Again, you soon increased the speed
Finding myself getting weary, I trudged on
But you kept moving faster; now at a jog
With me behind; just watching your backs

I soon found myself running
What, was there a lion behind?
Bewildered, I tried to follow
But could feel myself getting weaker

Out of breath, I stumbled
On the ground now, I saw you move ahead
Looking so strong; ahead and not back
You did not see me fallen

I silently reached out my hand
As if to say, 'Wait for me'
But you did not turn around
As my voice faltered me

I rose to my feet, and ran again
As if I thought I could catch up
But how foolish; I simply fell again
Now you are far away from me
Next to the horizon; I can barely see you

I stay here on the ground feeling bitter
Why? Why had I not called out?
For you to turn around; help me back to my feet
You were so close, yet so far

So I continue to sit here all alone
And you have disappeared even farther
Than the horizon which now glows orange
I am left behind, for eternity...​

I do not understand. Explain please.

Wow. I really like the feeling of it and how you expressed your fading willpower. I would never leave you behind like that. :3

It's a poem I wrote in class a couple of days ago which reflects my frustration at not being able to keep up with the rest of my class, and of not being able to call out for help, but it's all good now.

Wow. I really like the feeling of it and how you expressed your fading willpower. I would never leave you behind like that. :3

Thanks Devi. :ilu: Hopefully from now on, my willpower will start to shine brighter so that I can one day change the ending!
