The Terminal

Counting down the hours
Until I leave this place.
It's bleak walls and oppressive thoughts,
Infringe upon my beliefs.

The departure rooms almost empty.
Only a vending machine stands still,
Surrounded by an ocean of blue chairs,
While my minds scattered across the floor.

It's almost time to go.
Stray images invade my mind,
Causing me to rethink the trip,
Even though I've already bought my ticket.

Leaving wont be easy
But staying is even harder,
So i'm counting down the minutes
Until i leave this place behind me.

Author notes

Ook then.. The people who know me will all interpret this differently. If you really want to know, just ask.

by the way-  thats a rough draft, so any suggestions are appreciated.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    You know I love your work, and this is no exception. I know it's about going back to Melbourne, but I love how this could be interpreted differently. I don't think you should change anything about this poem.

    I actually really love this, it's simple but in a sophisticated way and can clearly have many different interpretations. I love it hunni, and you of course.
