Is overrated
At least according to my personal experience
There were some good moments
Tender memories
Late night sighs
Black slippers worn thin

For some reason I don't see the point of it
The rough asphalt against bare feet
The empty sound of a recorded voice on a pay phone
Darkened gaze of a old house
Angry cloud crossing the moonbeam
Lonely starlight 
Motor oil stain
Tight grasping on print cloth
A staggered stance
An overdue tear
Flooded catharsis on a black and brown road
Cornered
On a busy intersection
The crosswalks screaming
I'm too tired to yell
To walk
To feel
Sad wide-eyed child looks up wondering why
Queen and Knight on the floor
Match over

Someday I'll look back on this and laugh
Sure it could be worse 
Emancipation
Is overrated too
I'm still waiting 
But I'm tired
And the streets are cold
