Suffocated

In a rush to survive, you forget to breathe

Your mind, clogged with trivial matters, doesn’t see the bigger picture

The sky is blocked behind the towering skyline and polluted air

Swimming among the sea of people

You lose the sense of direction, purpose

You become just another swimmer

Forgetting who you really are

Where and why are you here

You kill your desires with your needs

You chain yourself to your own greed

You slowly become comfortable in your cage

Even if you want to, you are scared to fly
