Trodden paths

I've been running so far,
I've been running so long,
Just to get to the place
Where I started from.
      The circle is closed,
      What have I learnt?
Will I get the courage
To start up again?

Where have you been,
Which ways did you go?
How often did you fall,
What did you learn?

Groping and careful
I'm looking at you.
Are there just these trodden paths
We have to go?
Can we escape this circle?
The wounds are deep.
The scars are burning,
There are so many fears.

I'm feeling so tired.
Feeling so tired.
