I am the wind blowing
Aimlessly because I do not know where
I want to go.
I am the mother who
Yells because she knows why she is annoyed
But does not want to be questioned.
I am the man who follows the path
Without knowing where it will lead.
I am the murderer who kills
And is caught because he has
Nothing better to do.
I am the woman who
Lets her thoughts trail
Across a piece of paper because she is idle.
I am Restless.

There’s no better word to describe the world’s mood right now. I hope the planet is ready for the explosion of pent-up energy when the lockdown ends. 🙂

I get restless a lot, it’s a feeling that I can’t stand, so I usually end up aimlessly doing anything to shake the feeling.

This is very interesting – especially when people decide to do things without thinking it through, there are consequences that entails. Though, I have been feeling restless lately, it can cause people to make rash decisions as well. Love it!
