Floating forward on empty feet Music clinging to every second that passes my ears Im overwhelmed by the quiet vastness the world has become Green spilling over pale balconies Flowers take their place without remorse Sturdy white buildings with their usual red caps filled to the brim with life They feign stillness secretly teeming with love, with hate, with anger, enjoyment of life, with overwhelming loneliness, with boisterous laughter, with shared meals and smiles and tears Itβs alive, every person a vein, i can feel these buildings breathe as i walk by, feel itβs pulse, every beat resounding deep in my skull An irrefutable reminder as my skin crawls from solitude, we are alive, we are alive
