Change

Dust, dust is everywhere.

Sweeping across this barren land that is unknown to me

I try to stand up but  the wind pushes me down again

I think back to gym class, counting the amount of push-ups we could do

Racing to see who the fastest, yet here I am not even able to stand up

The only thought that runs through my mind:

I am different

The sun is blazing down on me like it’s ready to feast on every single piece of flesh

“Run into the jungle, wait for me at the blue capsule”

I see a figure running in the distance, it’s arms dancing in the wind

“Even if you don’t see me you have to jump”

I remember falling through time ‘till here I am

In this desolate land where the closest thing to a person is a dust ball

“This is the only way it will work”

The figure is closer

It stands in front of me, leaning on its left side

Its head tilted

“I will come, I promise”

I will wait until you come

I promise

It holds out a hand

I take it, with one thing in mind:

“I promise”
