Submission for the Unnecessary Line challenge

I don't mind the noise

That's a bonus to me

Silence is a choice

But I walk to feel free.

*

Working from home

Tends to drain my array

Going out and just roam

Marks the end of my day.

*

Deep thoughts and connections

Plans and goals to achieve

Some important dissections

Pulled out from my sleeve.

*

This feels so good and hitting just right.

(Her bedroom blinds are closed tonight)

*

Now back at home

Something feels lacking

I used the same road

But the night is now cracking.

*

I started on high

And it ended on low

It may need one more try

To recoup from the blow.

*

I'll go again tomorrow

Like I do every day

Same route as tonight?

That's for sure a fair play.
