Taunton state is closed

Went back to my old job today
I missed the halls
Missed the welcoming feeling
Everything was where I left it
The broom near the fireplace
chair in the right corner
even my name tag still hung on the hook near the exit sign

Smelt different today
Felt different also
The air thick with hatred
and bad intentions
It clung to everything
Desperate and unyielding
trying to find its way inside
to suffocate
to take hold of my beating heart
live in and strive within
But I didn't let it
I am too strong
Too stubborn
to allow it to seep into my lungs
burrow in my chest
no
Instead it crept the surface
bristling the hairs as it crawled across my skin
Unforgiving and stifling

Walking away for good from here was never a thought
but now it's a promise !
today I shut that door
left my name tag
and walked away happy
realizing that that was the first time I ever left there happy
