I looked outside and saw
The leaves had fallen off,
The grass had yellowed
Some time ago.
I did not notice
For quite some time.
I saw my hands in the glow of clouds
And wondered,
How long has it been?
How much time has gone by?
I want so much more
Than four walls and a bed,
To simply wake up,
pillow under my head,
A meal in my stomach
But I am simply fed up.
The way set in place
By society, blindly
Tapping my way through
A 9-5, 8-6, 7-9,
Why?
When did I lose
The dream for something more?
I am drowning, weighed down
By rigid rules and indecision.
I worry it's too late to save me.
