When we are running We are not thinking When we are lot thinking We are truly living. We imprison ourselves in thought We prevent ourselves from growing We stay stuck in the same place Which stops us from going. If only we could be Both thoughtful and free Only then in life Could we get what we need. We restrict ourselves from growth We build a prison out of the mundane We see freedom outside And we tell it to go away. If only I could see What I does to me, If only you could believe, What you do to you.

Self imposed prison
When we are running We are not thinking When we are lot thinking We are truly living. We imprison ourselves in thought We prevent ourselves from growing We stay stuck in the same place Which stops us from going. If only we could be Both thoughtful and free Only then in life Could we get what we need. We restrict ourselves from growth We build a prison out of the mundane We see freedom outside And we tell it to go away. If only I could see What I does to me, If only you could believe, What you do to you.
Just a few thoughts on how much us humans restrict ourselves.
