Subway Days
Screeech!
Train pulls in
tap tap-my toes knows
there’s no need for patience
Gracious-I step, leap
In for the ride
Strangers by my side
Take a seat
Maybe meet
Tap tap-my feet
Out the window
Sunshine
Passing veiws
Old man reads the
Paper news.
Poor nomads
sing the blues
and beg for change.
Arrange seats
Tap tap-go my feet
Faces
I see
Humbly avoid eyes
Goodbyes: “here’s my stop”
Hop off
The train
The quest
the best
Train may smell bad;
But getting off
Can still make a girl sad.
Glad I had
the chance
the ride
Whoevers by my side
“stand clear of the closing doors”
tap tap…away go my footsteps
still wanting more.

wow . once again , i'm so impressed . i can clearly see through your writing who you are as a writer and a poet . and trust me , revealing your personality through words sounds simple , but it's no easy task . but you did wonderfully ! a suggestion ; for the second last line when you used the elipsis . in this context , you don't exactly need it , especially since you used the hyphen before . i think you should try :
tap tap - and away go my footsteps .
mhmm , but then again . just a suggestion . (:
overall though , KUDOS to you . great job . and you might wanna check some of my other stuff . just for the heck of it . bye now . (:
