The sky is becoming orange
Can't tell the difference
Is it dusk or dawn?
There are people around me
But I'm still alone.


Cold cold breeze
when touched my skin
The scent in the air
reminds me of the places where I've been
Have I seen the whole wide world?
Or have I seen nothing?


I closed my eyes to feel serene
Some dreadful voices
reminds me of how fragile I am
I sighed looked around and realised
It was another nightmare
Just another bad dream.


I feel like I am around liars
Am I a liar too?
If not then why I fake smiled
when I experienced the verisimilitude
when everything was false
and I knew.


Lying supine
sniffing the petrichor
enjoying the solitude
I think I even forgot where I am from?


I try to feel a presence but it's long gone
I've my thoughts with me
But I am still alone.
