The Return

This city that sleeps a slumber so silent in the night is a far cry from its bustling day. I’m back here, maybe more homeless than ever and I’m certainly fretting at this instant.

But hush, as I start anew. A new direction, same expectations but a fresher perspective. Back in this familiar foreign stomping ground, I feel nestled in the embrace of peers. Loved in certain aspects but hated the same way by the ignorant ones who share this land.

I carry my new ink with a greater symbolic meaning. The green eyes that watch my back is a testament to the overcoming of my vulnerability. I am hardened, albeit soft.

And the world around me will change for I’m as much of an actor as everyone else. For better or worse, we’ll keep breathing to see.

Yours Sincerely,

Jinn
