Hallways
by: EJ

Silent one minute,

The next erupting in noise,

These hallways feel so empty,

Each long and endless,

Each connecting to make this huge maze,

Its quite probable to get lost here,

I often do,

Sometimes I do it accidentally on purpose,

Its amazing how things contradict themselves here,

Eve the most familiar faces,

Can feel like complete strangers to me,

Not because their personalities have changed,

But because all of this world is still new to me,

This is not my original home,

I feel alone in this silence,

Yet the noise is overwhelming,

Whenever I get lost in these halls,

The truth still manages to find me,

I am not alone, this is my new home,

I belong here, I am better here,

Even though the crowd in the hallways seem impassible,

One person at a time I am managing to breaky my way through,

One step at a time my path gets clearer,

Now I can see where I'm heading in my life,

I am happy.
