You say you are tired
of the human connections
But what you're actually tired of is
connecting with the wrong people

You say you wanna disappear
and never come back
When you are longing to be found, to be understood and to be loved

You say you want to be left alone
When all you want is someone to come
and embrace you in their warmth

You say this and you say that
but never what's in your heart

There she stood and
Watched as the world hustled

Everyone seems to have
a dream to fulfil,
a goal to achieve,
a journey to travel,
a destination to reach

She wonders to herself
how it feels to to have
a dream to fulfil,
a goal to achieve,
a journey to travel
and a destination to reach

Yet there she stood
still as the old willow
rooted down for ages
for what, where and how
her life entangles in between the mist and crowd

PoV- You are still trying to understand your existence

Red light glows
A sudden pause

I sit in the passenger seat
Watching the processions of wheels bow to the scarlet command

Amid the rushes and the restless faces
I crave to remain just a little longer

I don’t know if it’s the fear of what lies at the end of the road
That brings me peace in staying still

Or is it the halt
that slows the constant rush
and the frantic pace of life temporarily softens,  
that is bringing me this calm

Whatever the cause maybe
I long to hold onto it just a bit longer
