sitting inside the train after finishing work i watch the people rush home just like me
like migrating birds travelling a long distance i make this daily journey from one end to another
i make this journey from one end to another to keep me distracted from all things i am missing
a loving family i left behind my happiness knew no limits sadness brushed outside with ease living a life as it should be
eager to climb up the ladder eager to prove people wrong i sacrificed happiness i traded joy for "loneliness"
with my eyes watching the exit my heart yearns out to the home i left behind while looking to rebuild my nest;
