there comes
a
peace within
a
knowing
your course is true
few
find the harmony of life
running from dreams
running nowhere as on a contraption
built for mindless creatures
caged and fed scraps
as they run their wheel of mediocrity and compromise
justifying the existence of life
by
succumbing to the ideal system
that dreams are for dreamers
allowing
the haze of self induced maudlin
drowned with false complacency
trust me
I know
that
it doesn’t have to be this way
that
there is life after death
that
you can alter the course of your life
for better
that
you can learn to respect yourself
and who you are and what you can become
if
you get off the wheel
and
feel the peace
you know to be true
when your foot steps out
on
firm
terrain
