Heading Home

By: LuvMiFreely

Outside waiting

As I check my watch 

Tapping my foot on the pavement

It’s running late again

Just when I feel myself losing patience 

I see the headlights in the distance 

It pulls to my stop

I step on and place my fare in

As I head to my seat 

I pay attention to all blank looks on people’s faces 

As they’re heading to their destinations 

I wonder what awaits them at these places

I slip my earbuds in 

Staring out the window as the world passes by

Every stop brings new strangers

Some quiet, some loud 

I turn my music up to tune out the sound

Lost in my own world

I’m home bound

What a long day it has been
