She thinks...

Scaling up those walls she thinks
I could climb on forever
Even if I never reach the top
It's the going down that scares me

Marching down the road she thinks
I could walk on forever
Even if I never get to the end
It's the turning back that haunts me

Chipping at the wood she thinks
I could wield this axe forever
Even if the wood runs out
It's the putting down that numbs me

Punching at the keys she thinks
I could dial this number forever
Even if the battery runs out
It's the picking up that freezes me

Peeling at the layers she thinks
I could skin these forever
Even if the flesh runs out
It's reaching the core that worries me

Sucking at the straw she thinks
I could drink like this forever
Even if the bottle runs dry
It's the filling up that scares me

Striking up the matches she thinks
I could light up like this forever
Even if there’s no friction left
It's the empty air that disarms me

Well articulated.

Just a stray thought: All of us inherently can invent, how many of us can re-invent?
