Standing at the corner of the street
Earphones in my ears
Music on full blast
Watching the people around me
Couples kissing at each corner except mine
Friends laughing
People chatting
Does anyone of them feel what I feel?
Is there anyone in this world?
Anyone who knows the feeling
The feeling of emptiness
The feeling of being a refugee in your own world
Your own group of friends
Your own family
Escaping reality through reading or listening to music
Letting the words sink into every part of me
My only escape
My only escape in a world full of emotions
Sadness, heartbreak, love, happiness, anger
Only when the book ends am I reminded that it's all not true
All of it just an escape for the moment
A moment to feel like I belong
A moment of not being a refugee
All of that ends
Coming back to reality
And once again,
I'm a refugee in my own world
Standing at the corner of the street
Earphones in my ears
Music on full blast
Watching the people around me

PoetryPoems written by me, myself and I. Wrote them with a mind full of words wanting to be let out and shared to the wonderful people of Wattpad. Just wanted to share my veeery wild thoughts and try to find myself through writing.
