紅綠燈Traffic lights

2022.07.08

（應該是去年剛開學，某天）（再改一下）

紅燈，於是我停了下來。因為學校離市中心有點距離，所以我很少到高雄商業最繁盛的街區。這裡有玻璃帷幕的大樓、路很寬、紅綠燈很長。我四處張望，身旁的一切像是巨獸群圍著我，隨時能把我吞噬。

有那麼一瞬，我覺得世界正在朝我坍塌。

綠燈，我開始移動。移動能將恐懼留在原地。

速度，更多的速度，而我知道所有的追逐、逃離、擁有與失去，都將成為一陣陣風，從我身旁呼嘯而過，爾後消褪。

得緊緊握住僅存的勇氣才行。因為除了勇氣，我別無所有。

(The day was supposed to take place in the new semester of last year.)(Revised version)

Redlight. And I stop. As my university is located a bit away from the city center, I rarely come here, the most prosperous, commercial district of Kaohsiung. Glassy towers, wide roads, and long traffic lights. I look around, feeling like everything around me is like a herd of beasts getting ready to devour me at any moment.

For a split second, I feel that the world is crumbling towards me.

Then the light turns green. I start moving again. When I move, I leave fear behind.

Speed. More speed. I know all the chasing, escaping, possessing, and losing will be nothing more than a gust of the wind whizzing past me, and then they fade away.

I have to hold on to a little courage I have left. Because I have nothing but courage.
