Need to take the next step,
Breathe the next breath,
Chase the rogue wind,
Stalk it to the center of the earth,

Begin to feel,
Or try to,
Because I know it’s hard,
To change the habit of feeling numb,

Loneliness swoops upon me,
My intentions fall to the floor,
And I begin to cry,
Yet I know I tried,

A feeling engulfs me,
Like fire,
But I don’t notice the passion,
Although I do note the pain,

I carry on,
Like normal,
But somehow it’s different,
When all I want to do is collapse,

The shining moon above me,
Encircles the blinding pain,
Like a rusty needle,
Injecting into my heart,

I take the next step,
Although I fall down,
I breathe the next breath,
Although my lungs are empty,
I chase the rogue wind,
But you never told me what to do when I catch it.

However long the night, the dawn will break.

Well, first off, I did enjoy the poetry! It actually evoked a wanderlust feeling in me. A desire to chase a breeze..eheh. Since you have the constructive critique tag tho, I will just say, in some places, the flow of the poetry seems a little out of whack. It's not that important to some people, but on each stanza, it just seems to be stop and go. I.E.

"Need to take the next step,-stop-
Breathe the next breath,-stop-
Chase the rogue wind,-stop-
Stalk it to the center -stop- of the earth,-stop-"

That's just my opinion tho. For all I know I could be completely out of whack with that, so only take the comment as far as you see just. Either way, I thought it was a great peice. Thank you!

Glad you like it.........
