Absurdity

When everything around me throws me into the pool of insanity It reminds me of the nature of humanity A justification of reality When trapped in poverty I thrive to survive in this life of uncertainty While some sell their virginity to survive I sell my talent to survive While some reincarnate pharaonic slavery just to survive I trust in the living God to survive To attain a mere degree, they compromise the code of morality But I believe in the trinity; Transparency, Dignity And Loyalty They applaud me when I fulfill their request But mock and bite me at the back when I thrive to be my best They push me away when I’m in debt But pull me when I’m the greatest So, what then is the meaning of life? Why do we foolishly thrive to please people? Why can’t you be you as YOU? Why can’t you be real? Why do you suffocate your identity just to keep up an appearance? This is absurdity An insanity That which reflects the nature of humanity A reality Nobody seem to understand me cos they are not me But I love me cos I am ME.
