anxiety about leaving
the only place i feel safe,
how will i survive without
the people i love, in the city alone?
so i start with a small step,
out of my door with no plan.
a wanderer,
who was always afraid to explore the world.
i roam on pavements,
mall, parks and beach.
the small step i took before was for a moment,
but its significance will help me,
throughout my lifetime.
kids yelling and parents screaming,
lovers kissing in shade,
youngsters surfing in the wide blue ocean,
students studying in silence,
and, lonesome strangers with earplugs.
observing all that, initiated an epiphany,
and i have never experienced something like that.
i felt my bones and skin putting itself together
from the loneliness i suffered before.
