trying hard to shake it off
avoiding you as possible
pretending not to notice
your eyes watching me

thought I would not fall
but I am sliding to fast
I can't focus with
your presence around me

I think of millions ways
to approach you
to whisper in your ears
that I felt the same

but I can't so here I am
in the shadows
thinking of you and watching you
watching me and pretending
I don't care

ever wondered upon thy neighbors
pains, struggles  and dreams

their constant troubles and insight about
life

ever wondered before given your opinions
which are short sighted and self bias

or are we comfortable walking in shoes
that are not rightly fit

"Tagio hola"(thank you)
for reading and commenting
for writing inspiring, sometimes weird
and head cracking poems.

I will be leaving this safe haven where
our thoughts are free to roam. I do not
know when I will be back.

keep doing what you all are doing
let it out there is always someone who
can relate. be safe and always be kind
the world is cruel as it is.

AS in my native language, "leana hola"
(Goodbye)

It’s hard getting you in such small doses
I’d almost rather not enjoy you at all

somehow beyond
somehow yonder
now will be a history
a lesson learnt to
treat nature more kindly
