There's a girl riding
the midnight train
out there, weeping as
she slowly falls asleep to
the silence of the night.
There's another girl out there
biking the empty
streets of an unfamiliar place,
her heartbeat getting faster
and faster with every pedal.
There are kids out there
standing on the curbs
and patiently waiting
for the next bus to arrive, their
hands cold and shaky
from either fear or probably
just in a hurry, I'm not
quite sure why.
And you,
you're stuck in your home
wishing you were one of
these kids and could run away too.
