Abbii
Lost in the sea of crowded people, all in a rush to get to places, to things, to people. I trip on the lip of broken pavement and catch myself all before anyone glances my way, and it's like a flick is switched and I feel myself run on auto drive. Slipping through the thrush of people and avoiding the hum of cars. How obvious had it been? Was it aways like this? When had I become so blind? Finally, I thought, the breakthrough strumming in my mind; sometimes we have to save ourself.
I fall asleep to their calling song, the night that kept me awake ebbs away and I'm left with nothing but exhaustion and the symphony of their waking song. Their day has just begun and mine will never even have the chance to start, because my vision fades and I'm left with the emptiness of my dreams.
