SLOW
By Harry Wang
Alone on a peaceful day All my thoughts shuffling The harder I concentrate My surroundings sharpen Breaths of wind like waves Calm between each step Are blown in my thoughts Clouding my mind, the aura of calm clashes with the panic of self-consciousness. Reminiscent thoughts To think about If I could take them back I remind myself move on Like Everyone Time seems too Slow I notice the people around Me Living Their own lives Deceitful expressions of Happiness Resilience Fulfillment I know behind each solid cover Frail heaps of paper rest.
