The City
written by: Luca Bader
the quick pace of the city unsettles me
stop.
the traffic noise makes my ears ache
silence.
the congestion of population triggers my claustrophobia
space.
the air contamination tightens my alveoli
I hyperventilate.
Control.
Breathe in. Hold. Release.
Control.
Air.
Hi you! My name is Luca Bader and I am just another human being who loves to create her own imaginative worlds with pen and paper; just another human being who loves to write down their scattered thoughts to make sense of them in the middle of the night. I am probably very similar to you, dear reader: A lover of words. Words give us the means to express ourselves, connect to others, and establish intimate bonds. My curiosity about words and literature, in general, even motivated me to study English and American Studies at the University of Vienna. Moreover, it led me to another great passion of mine which is music.
