“And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same.”
unity
or
insignificance?
living for the weekend
dreading the week
but going through it
because it’s required
drowning in a sea of decisions
that won’t matter in a hundred years
finding self fulfillment
inside your own mind
to escape the emptiness
forced through a path
willingly
because it’s good enough for everyone else
zoom in
splashes of color
zoom out
shades of gray

“And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same.”
unity
or
insignificance?
living for the weekend
dreading the week
but going through it
because it’s required
drowning in a sea of decisions
that won’t matter in a hundred years
finding self fulfillment
inside your own mind
to escape the emptiness
forced through a path
willingly
because it’s good enough for everyone else
zoom in
splashes of color
zoom out
shades of gray
