Dark
Dingy
Dank
The underground
Avoid the tunnel dust
As the train
Roles into the station
Passengers scurry
Rush to the platform
Pushing through the crowds
While others scramble
Tossing their luggage
Onto the train
Frantic movements
Heartbeats
Settle down
Alone in the aisle
Waiting
Watching
Longing for the sun
As the train
Lurches forward
Conductor calls
Next stop
Twenty minutes
I love traveling by train, looking out the window, and watching the world pass by. Leaving the train station, in the cities, you see the hidden world, abandoned buildings/cars, graffiti, warehouses and so much more. As the train travels, the sights shift. High-rise buildings and row homes give way to the suburbs. Neat little houses, hidden along the way, opening up to waterways and highways.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
