misquoted

i'm the awkward girl you always see running for the bus

constantly chasing after the impossible -
catastrophic results to every feeble attempt;
carrying too much in the hands and on the mind

an abrupt stop and a distraught look admitting defeat

hey !
wait -
please ?

loud roar of diesel, dust unsettling …

( i never seem to catch the bus on time. )
