People choose to be their own prison
by accepting a lifestyle that doesn’t adapt
to their inner dreams and desires.
They accept jobs that
don’t speak their ambitions,
Degrees that don’t satisfy
their innate passions.
They decide to set themselves free
time to time by going on holiday
and unmasking their true self,
their happy self
only for a few days,
until routine takes control over them again.
They live a life waiting for holiday
counting the days and weeks,
pausing their emotions and
leading their minds to
a state of numbness.
And I can’t help myself to think
“what a waste of time”.
You trade your happiness to fit in,
when you could live
the rest of your life on holiday.
