So What Am I Thinking

“Lone Junk at Dawn”, by Chris Yip

So what am I thinking
But to leave this nagging feeling alone
That won’t leave me alone?

So what am I thinking
But to leave the place where I’ve lived
For twenty plus years of my life?
Save that –
I’m scared

So what am I thinking?
I don’t want to think too hard
But then
If I don’t think, others will

So what am I thinking?
