Going Nowhere
I walk along the city streets,
feeling like I’m going against the flow
of the crowds.
A never-ending line of bodies,
staring out through empty, vacant eyes,
all on their way to... somewhere.
Me, I’m going nowhere,
but as I wander, my mind escapes reality and dances.

I love the twist, Hul, and it sounds like you were in a better place than the crowds. Good poem.

Know the feeling....you are just walking and then boom-you suddenly find yourself alone in your head, in another world a thousand vast miles away. Beautifully captured, Hullabaloo :)

I've felt like that many times throughout the years. Great way to put that feeling into words!
