Listening

Constantly mimicking 

By

I was walking through a crowded conversation the other night. 

I couldn't help but feel cornered on my way out .

As much  as I ignored it- I caught some of the dance.

It made me feel abused to hear their words. 

I never felt so isolated and claustrophobic all at once.

What can come from ignorance and vociferous consultations? 

A pathetic excuse to be heard above their own insanity.

Just an avenue away-

Just yesterday I realized how alone I was being surrounded by that many people.

And it made me feel fear along with relief that I was not related to those nasty people.

I received my gift finally.

The magic life had been throwing at me.

All these years-

I never realized just how amazing life is.
