Sometimes when a feeling comes
It just stays around & doesn’t go away
Like a plague, a dirty stain that refuses to disappear
After washing up, feeling cleansed and refreshed
Looking out of the window, into the night air

Sometimes, you just seem to wonder why
Is it something that you have not done
or is it something that is troubling you?
You wonder as you lay your head on
the pillow, drifting into a deep dream

Waking up the next day with this heavy feeling
in your heart. You ask yourself, “Why?” but you
still can’t find the answer as you dress up for the
new day and wear your new shoes as you step
into the city streets jostling with the endless crowd.

You see an accident scene as you tried to walk pass
in a hurry, turning your head around in curiosity.
You see a wounded man being wheeled into the ambulance

You stop in that instant. Suddenly,
you feel that you had not done what you want to do
in your life, instead, you are working for the sake of working.

Suddenly, the world seems so empty.
It is only you left. No one else.
No one will remember you when you are gone.

You start to panic as it seems to frightening and real
that it is horrifying to think about. You take a step backwards
from the accident scene and head to somewhere quiet to relax.

You think of a way out of this but you can’t seem to find the answer.
The feeling stays within your heart, and it never seems to go away.

You ponder, as you drift asleep into another day.
