Wait.


(poems go here)Wait

 

Grey Sky.

Water in the air.

It becomes hard to breathe .

Harsh lights consistently hit  tiered eyelids.

She looks away just to stare again.   

       Cigarette glows, Eyes water and Tear.

Crying?

Why?

              The ear buds pacify, but also encourage.

Why do you stay here?

Honor?

Promises?

       She could be happy, but chooses differently.

Conformity sneaks up and all other ambitions fade away.

       Pride kills slowly.
