A bus full of tired faces
all coming from different places,
every evening after the daily hustle
to make ends meet,
they gather in the bus
I was an outsider
who unexpectedly got inside, and
amidst the constant jerking of the bus,
I glanced at them and pondered
how different I was from them
how fortunate I was from them
they live a tiresome life
yet a happy life
their dreams are small
yet their souls are tall
they took their turns
to step out of the bus,
to walk back home
only to step inside the same bus
the next day
And when my turn came
many had already left
so I too stepped out,
and walked back home
my heart felt heavy,
i don't know why
it was only a short bus journey
or maybe it wasn't
it was an expedition
that shedded light
on a world i have never lived
it was an evening
that showed me
who I have become
