Analysis of Spaceships



thoughts going
a mile a minute

my mind
is running a marathon

and i'm getting
left behind

will i make it
to the finish

is there a real
destination in mind?

or is it all about
the journey taken?

lost in a labyrinth
with no way out

now clouded
with so much doubt

think i'll launch
another spaceship
