"The world is too demanding....... And I don't have much energy left"

The world is too demanding,

And I don’t have much energy left.

The world is swiftly moving,

While I am stuck in a cleft.

Spending all my strength,

Just to get myself out.

Just to figure it out.

And while I untangle the threads;

Others have walked far,

Beyond my horizon.

Treading fast, pace unmatched.

Do you ever,

catch a breath?

 

It’s getting blurred,

‘The thin line between dreams and fears’

Expectations too much,

From others and myself.

Beyond my reach.

Beyond my scope.

But do I even, care anymore?

Of what’s what?

Let it be,

Just going with the flow.

 

 

Is that how hollow?

I am feeling inside?

Don’t have words to describe,

To fill this empty page.

Not finding an outlet to escape,

my thoughts resonate,

Back and forth, back and forth.

 

No rage, just lost cause

What’s the purpose, anyways?

Of this rat race?

Wanna escape, so bad.

Cause,

The world is too demanding,

And I don’t have much energy left.
