I am Curious like a child who never stops asking why I am the dog who chases his tail until he dies

Running in circles, like a frenetic one-manned race Exhausted as the sun from setting my own pace Though yet, I am still burning for all to see The dark inside self that I hide with the glowing outside me I am a patient peddler of endless questions I am the consumer of countless suggestions Jamie Deppe

I am I am a dog trying to find a nest of rabbits, Constantly looking For the key To my hunger

I am A fire Burning until there is nothing but ashes.

Leaving no trace I am As fast as a race car, Leaving math class I am like A pencil Being Sharpened Until there is nothing left. ,
