I notice the symmetry in your face
You look in every direction but mine
We rush and crash through the night
Across traintracks, through tunnels
I admire the strong structures
Glowing beneath these festive lights
You are hiding insecurities behind
A temporary mask of excitement
Could-have-been tragedies
Become appreciative victories
We are mere trembling bodies
Amongst a crowd of confidence
Relief pours over us, flowing fast
Reducing our uncertainties
Reusing forgotten identities
Recycling mistreated potential
Relaxing, finally in tact...
