Poetry

Sorry

For taking so long to realize that this affects me too.

No, I don’t know you but if I stay quiet isn’t it as bad as pretending it didn’t happen.

So much going on outside my box and for so long I have kept to myself.

Why?

Out of fear or maybe nothing more to say for everyone else has already said it.

I don’t know but I feel your pain now as I’m in this state of restlessness and I’m not in a hurry.

To keep working and focusing on the task around me as I watch people come and go.
