A lady on the subway Breaks down and cries from someone drawing her portrait. I guess, she has never seen how beautifUl she is before. She is art, just like you... Tears or not, when you see your reflection. Realising you're a masterpiece is just the start.....

The Subway By LoLa Waiting for never Bathing in silence Protected from weather Where silence is violence Forever we roam Eternally aligned This box car is home Suspended in time Lights flicker with hope This feels like a dream Unspoken ways to cope Pain that happens in between Wayward souls wander Destinations still unknown Welcome echos pull us under feeling that we're not alone Strange vibrations illuminated No time exists between trAin stations In Destinations...
