i suppose we're all trapped in the same system
a repetitive version of events that simply swirls
around and around our screaming bodies
urging us to continue to carry out daily lives like nothing happened

we could be superheroes flying but that niggling
voice inside our heads tells us ''no'' and so we
lose faith in what could have been spectacular
we've lost it in lack of confidence and we don't know how to stand

our thoughts instead dribble loosely out of
gaping mouths that scream at other people who managed
to be that superhero that we always wanted to be
and now it's far too late because jealousy seals you inside yourself

*and it means that
there is no room to breathe
and it will suffocate you
and leave you feel ******
all over again
