Afternoon Pain

slow wind blows through the afternoon

when its hot outside and i'm sitting near a window

feeling the surrounding silence

and its just distant sounds in background

the sun rays hitting the yellow walls

and its too hot to even walk outside

i look around, i look around

trying to find a reason to stay alive

This poem is part of "Daisy Summer: A Poetry Series". I wrote this poem after having a worst day in college and coming back home, only for afternoon to bury me in my loneliness.
