I spin around on that ice

That cold, shivering white sheet

And I skate

With all my heart’s weight

I gain speed

Soaring like a bird

Flying like a leaf lost in the wind

Never having to stop

That air blowing my hair

That sweet, swishing sound fills my ears

And I skate with all my heart’s weight

Then, I lift my foot

And I escape from this world

Pulling in my arms, I twirl like a ballerina

Softly landing, I breathe heavily,

Every drop of air surrendering out of me

The wonderful aroma of pure nothingness

And I skate

With all my heart’s weight

However, I skid to a stop

And wonder, why?

Why do people always have something to worry about?

Even when a time of happiness?

Let us just live in a world of peace, loving one another

But still, I skate with my heart’s weight
