Different Directions, Different Feelings

 

To the north is a black wall, which reflects my image.
If only there were something to reflect my feelings instead.

To the south the changing colors on the ship are like the ever-changing world around us,
Where new babies are born everyday.

To the east are the lights of the houses and businesses,
Which illuminate the city and show the areas that people have come back to.

To the west is a shopping mall where I would go with my relatives from Oklahoma.
We once spent the whole day shopping but now it’s an empty place where nobody goes.
