that slowly takes over your life
caught up in all the bullshit
the endless conflict and strife
in a world that's gone awry
never willing to admit
but so quick to deny
always on the go
no time for being still
ignoring what you know
the dreams of your youth
stuck in a maze
searching for your truth
screams out in silent pain
unable to be heard
all its efforts are in vain
the ones you held so tight
retreat into the darkness
hiding from the light
while the years tick slowly by
justifying where they went
can be hard to dignify
that excitement inside
before all the compromises
stripped you of your pride
as your life passes you by
seduced by a culture
that never asks why
the person you once were
and easy to forget
…who you are.

Beautyful poetry, the last part is very intuitive, for the heart is easy to forget who we are, Best to remember our true value and self respect

This brings a warmth to my heart and a lightness to my being... Im so touched, myself, to know they are recognized by another soul.., they are written from as much as my own as possible. Thanks @giantbear
