Train Station
October 12, 2023
Dreams
of this life:
Living away from reality
Jumping on salty waves
Ascending gracefully, freely
Lifeguards yelling don't go too deep
But I pretend not to hear
Because I'm already too deep in this fantasy
Living near this daydream
Click-clacking along in voguish stiletto heels, Zara bags fluttering on my arms
Pedestrians yelling watch where you're going
But I'm already too caught up in this make-believe.
Tomorrow
Leaving the beach, the city
Friends, too awkward to hug now
Can't push each other off slides anymore, slurp on cotton candy ice-cream
Realizing
Time chugs on, pulling out of the station
Winking through the window, weaving
Towards truth
Leaving you behind with only dreams
On the lonely platform.

I hope the message readers would get from this poem is that dreams will only happen if you make it a reality. If you don't try to make your dreams happen, time will move on and leave you behind with only your dreams, but not your truth. Chase after the train.
