Courtyard
Cold concrete under foot
Icy and alone
Ants running blindly
Randomly, nowhere to go
Going nowhere important
People like ants, running blind
Sun beating down
Burning my skin like fire
Leaves dry and noisy blowing in circles
A blur of random patterns
Smell of wood chips taste like camp
Soft sound of talking
Laughing
Living life too fast
With no purpose
Living as if we were zombies
Rushing yet going nowhere
Fast, too fast
Suddenly yelling
Panic
Heart beating out of my chest
Screams that can be heard from afar
Talking, no meaning
Just sounds
Meaningless sounds
Crashing, loudly in your ears
No point
Icy and alone
