A Day in the Life

Running from everything and everyone
Neither needs applause nor does he require praise
Escaping this mess of a life — he struggles to make
to reach the ones he adores — he idly waits, solitude

Feeling the misery tied to depression,
it is numbness from everything that rests — now
he knows what does it feel like, in the minds of those
who ache to commit suicide, a sad take at life

They never really want to end their life,
they just want themselves to be released from
this awful state — that never quits becoming repressed
thus it just sets — this feeling of decay slowly suffocating within

As you roam across the plains, in search
of something to replenish your soul, that never receives zest

ILLUMINATION

It’s never black or white. Sometimes there’s a bit of spicy red in there as well.
