sitting side by side
my sticky shirt on my ribs
i unclench my fists
sitting side by side
my sticky shirt on my ribs
i unclench my fists
same familiar sky
red, purple, gold before night
i am far from home
glass concrete towers
crowded train of quiet eyes
sweat becomes my skin
unfamiliar streets
strangers pass without a look
no one knows my name
thoughts in my head, with
counter thoughts arguing back
two freaks in my head
let me be your gift
broken like me, you won’t last
my day to scare you
gaze the diya light
an aide-memoire
full of thoughts
fear of dreams
night city glows over my feet
restless but placid
during the exam
pen in mouth, looking outside
his fear shaking fast
365 days
until I age another
year with my rambles
