On “Do Not Disturb”

by @yuyu

Looking down the ground, I stare at the bright lights, Alone in the dark night, Alone in my 5th floor apartment The cold breeze greets my skin, While the heads greet each other down the city, The night is as bright as the day, Even when the moon is hiding under the thick fog Ting! I said I’ll text you back, but I never did I wonder how they interact, Because I’m only in no contact, Only my dark room calms me down, As I don’t have to hide from anyone Ting! I said I’m busy, when I’m in bed The outside is loud but why is it quiet here? The cars are honking, the music is screaming, But my wall bounces it back, Just like how I push people away Ting! I said I ran out of battery, when I ran out of energy Maybe I should take it slow, So that I can follow the flow, Just like how the moon starts to show up, To face the bright busy city I stare at the moon in the empty sky, Even when it came out from the fog, I wonder why the moon is alone together with me, Why? Do you also push those stars away? Ting! I said I’ll text you back...
