City on -city off

Before I am losing myself in green meadows,

quietness in a world of gardens, cows and birds,

I switch the "city button" on again.

The trip back was not planned.

to a city called also "home".

It feels like wearing clothes which don't fit

under a grey shroud.

My switch stopped the process of overthinking,

nightmares you create in real life,

the talk with my inner self.

When I switch the city "on",

I forget it all.

Hide behind a mask of a good life,

that is long gone.
