Yes! you feel angry, so much locked inside

you think to yourself is this just another ride?

A ride in your life down a road you don’t know,

To follow along, follow to where it will go?

If you speak, there’s a silence, a tut and a nod

If you’re silent there’s silence, raised eyebrows, away on your tod

You’re feeling you can’t win, no matter what’s done

You’re losing your person and know where it begun

To stand on your own feet, to stand 6ft tall

All in completely or nothing at all

Don’t interrupt me, though I’ll interrupt you

What you’re saying is not interesting

Though my stories must interest you

The drifting is coming

You feel the gap in between

There’s work, there’s sleep and no more dreams.

You’re just plodding along, no fun is insight.

You’re tired and confused

Keep praying to the Light.
