où je serai dans 5 ans

city lights
like stars
they dance in the rain
drenched in the night she sits in her lonely window
looking out on the wet streets
wondering
pondering
“how did I get here?”
she lives in a sea of nameless faces
she’s just another face
pushing out on all sides
to let the person she has become out
still trying to figure out herself
she never will
but that doesn’t matter
not really
she had the whole world
welcoming her, with open arms
then she pulled a Robert Frost
chose the road less traveled
did it make her happy?
is she satisfied?
is this the life she wanted?
was it worth the tears she cried?
these things you’ll never know
she keeps her disappointment locked up
deep down
where even she can’t find it
she’s not sure if this is what she wanted
but this is what she got
