South Town

Poems of the Pure #1

By Makenna NicolePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

South Town

I can't close my eyes/ Without freaking out/ I can't breathe in/ Without wanting to drown/ I can't speak/ Without wanting to howl/

I am the part of the south town now

Slide down the glasses/ You really are getting out/ But not leaving/ That's the difference/ Of not feeling this happiness/ Leaving the place/ But not leaving the doubt

I can't close my eyes/ Without freaking out/ I can't breathe in/ Without wanting to drown/ I can't speak/ Without wanting to howl/

I am part of the south town now

The sound, the buzz/ I hate sitting by the tires/ All the other seats are full/ Yet, again/ Here I sit all alone/ Out the window there's nothing to see/ Just the b-line to weirdo city/

I can't close my eyes/ Without freaking out/ I can't breath in/ Without wanting to drown/ I can't speak without wanting to howl/

I am part of the south town now

Don't open the doors/ Don't open the doors

I am part of the south town now
