I usually do not explain my poems, I usually just leave them open to interpretation, but today I am writing a poem, this is longer than my other poems, and touches on a sensitive subject. A couple of years ago I was sexually assaulted by a woman at a nail salon, besides the obvious harassment, it was also embarrassing for me since it was in public. This poem pretty much describes how I felt about it and my progression of moving past it.
Walking around, I have no fuel that keeps me going
I am already late for the train
The pain is finally slowing
How long has it been since I have seen people come to this station?
I see people, or is it my imagination?
Do you want to know the truth?
The truth is, that I am waiting for it to rain, so I can have an excuse to get away from my mind
But the people
Where are the people?
They use to come here all the time!
Walking around, I have nothing to say
Where are the people?
They took my voice awayI
I see the train pass, and yet I'm not moving
I see people have fun and laugh
No thinking, No moving
Don't you think I want to forget that day?
Just because I was nice
Did not give you the right, to take my trust away
No I'm not angry
Maybe once, I was homophobic
But now, I forgive you
The pain is locomotive
So it moves, but there is no departure time
I see the train moving
When will it be my time?
No thinking, No Moving
No talking, the people just walk
No sitting, the people just talk
I do not want to talk about it!
I will be late for the train
The train does not run long enough
To ease this pain
Now I see, its time for me to get on the train
I see all the people now
Who understands my pain?
You think you understand me!
Just give me the ticket
Wait
Why is everyone else moving and I'm not
This train is all that I have got
People are walking around me now
I feel that I am moving but I feel as if I'm standing still
Walking around
No thinking, No Moving
My feet are on the ground
No anger
No pain
No moving
No rain
Walking around
The people are now moving
I am on the train now
No thinking, No moving
