That's That Life
Updated: Nov 27, 2020
I never wake up to the birds singing
I do, however, wake up to tormented souls screaming
Intoxicated, trying to numb their feelings
That's that city life
Around me, I see a bunch of headless chickens
running around unaware, without a mission
Rushing to catch that train to their next work of fiction
That’s that Matrix life
I want to escape
And I know I’m not the only one
waiting for something better on the horizon
Someplace I can call home
That's that depressing life
Or are you one of those:
“Oh, What a beautiful world!
I wish I could live forever and never get old"
That's that delusional life
For you I say: I hope you never remember
what true beauty is and really resembles
we can only feel it sometimes if we really try
Amnesia is a gift from God
That's that red pill life
