The lights from the station platform
Flicker on the floor of the carriage
As the train pulls away into the dark

My fingers and toes counteract
The toing - froing, pushing
Hard into the floor and handrail

Under the my fingers white
Knuckled stoney eyed. I stare

The platform.
by Katie Louise

Standing on the platform, desperately trying to conform. Longing to fit in.

I and my suitcase are boarding the train now. I managed to fight and resist the urges somehow.

Seated, Feeling defeated. One headphone in my ear listening to some new pop song. I’m people watching as other desperate souls walk along the platform beside me.

Our shirts would get ripped...
Perhaps our pants would get a stain...
