Living in the City

All caught up in confusion,
It feels like I am singled out.
The noises and the traffic
Makes me want to scream and shout.

I’m stuck here on the corner
Too afraid to try and move.
There’s people all around me
I hope to God that this improves.

The city’s not the place to be,
I’m having trouble trying to think.
Things are moving way too fast,
There’s no time to even blink.

Just get me to the other side
Without being pushed or knocked down.
My feet move faster than my legs
As I struggle to get homebound.

There’s too much hustle and bustle
For a life that’s lived too fast.
Take me back where I came from,
Someplace slower in my past.
