Lost As Alice In Wonderland...
#LostCityBlues
I sat there in the darkness,
feeling my excitement
slowly fade away,
The idea of living alone
in a big city is not as fun
as it seemed during the day,
Suddenly the never-ending traffic,
The sirens, it was all that I could hear,
My loneliness overwhelming me,
My veins filled with fear
I was so confident that I was ready
for this move,
I almost jump out the window as I
hear something on the roof,
do these people ever sleep?!
The sirens seem louder now and
my heart begins to race,
I hate this lonely feeling,
tears roll down my face
Nobody here stops to smell a rose,
or feel the rain fall on their face,
They are always in a hurry,
it's always a fast pace,
They are not friendly and
frankly none of them seem to smile,
They are so focused on their phones,
or laptops or about what is in style,
I won't fit in, I will never be happy here,
I feel lost as Alice in Wonderland,
I wipe away another tear.
