Why do you do what you do

in life •  8 years ago 

Getting up in the morning
At noon
Daunting
For most people

Out of touch
Why wake up
Get up, force fed,
Hurry in the bathroom

To be stuck in traffic,
Stuck at work
Stuck with unpleasantness
Don't rinse but repeat

Exhausting.
Putting up a frame
Displaying a perception
Fitting society's expectations

Lights out.
Music out.

Moments that define who you are
What you're made off
Lonely times
No one watching

Why do you do what you do

Are you in touch
with your definition of success
Purpose
Vision, goals

Walking home
In the dark
Reevaluating
Why all this

Thoughts lighting up
In your head
Like stars
In the night sky

The human imagination
Fascinating
and again
You wonder

How to make sure I'm true to myself,
Impress only myself
and care less
If at all

You're the only witness.

Stay awesome and don’t fail to create!
