3:50am

i’m wide awake 
looking backwards
it’s 3:50 am
the clock ticks one by one
counting the seconds

an old picture
takes me back
to another place
time and space makes us forget
i won’t forget

i’ve never felt so small
the world’s never seemed so tall
i’ve never felt so lost
in my entire life
as i am right now

    I think I understand. A moment where time seemed to stop and I was transported to familiar feelings in a different time and place. For me, it was an awakening moment. Care.
