Anthem

Happiness has always been an illusion
To mask this inherent sadness
You can convince yourself
Of the beauty of your existence

Your mind and body are always playing a game
The former chases you
The other runs with fear
But eventually it catches up
So what will happen now

The glow of light will elude you
Darkness will welcome you with open doors
All optimism will just fade from the surface
The roots of pessimism will grow from deep to take their space

Your strength won’t matter
Always trying to escape this prison will not work
It is pretty demotivating
When you give up fighting after so many attempts.

Even though this place is so lonely in its shade
Devoid of self compassion and any care
It always has a small ray of sunshine if you seek it
Barely hitting the floor

All you have to do
Is make the most of the shimmer of sunshine
Let the light ray illuminate your mind
Let it give you the valuable teaching that

When you are trapped long enough in one place
You need to learn to adapt
Not feel restricted to this small space
And learn to break the wall of your limitations

It is you who limit yourself
Not this so called prison
You can still be the same person you used to be
And not become yet another prisoner
