Look around.
Just look.
Don't stare.
Take small steps.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Close your eyes.
Keep walking.
Now open them again.
What do you see?
Walk faster.
Don't look back,
Don't mind their stares.
Straight ahead.
Don't stop,
Not yet.
Faster.
Now run.
Run and be free.
Turn left or right,
And straight ahead.
Shout.
Shout it out.
Feel the gust of the wind.
Feel the vibe,
The beat of your heart,
The blood on your veins.
Listen.
And as you reach
The end of your journey,
It's alright to cry.
Get tired
But look up.
And smile.
