I know what I want, but what do I need?
I breathe, I live but what have I achieved?
I dream many a dream but never succeed
Making an effort seems pointless indeed
Is today a capitalistic world
A contrast of rebels and nerds
You’re cool if u end up being part of the herd
If u dissent, you fade into the background renounced, unheard
In the brightness of day dreams pale, turn hoary
Reality alas, is a whole other story
Respect earned, recognitions gained
People used as stepping stones, their self worth defaced
At the end of the day it matters not
If you’re looking in or peering out
To drown yourself and live a lie
You’re born; you live…
only to die……
