Chance To Be

Fast pace Cold Hard pressed faces Almost emotionally unavailable Main thing Working hard Filling accounts as full as possible The hours and days Meeting deadlines Satisfy the people's ego Wearing masks They want to see Say things they want to hear Into status and money Diminishing who they really are Likes and dislikes Forgetting own voices Becoming Just an extension Of other people A tool to be used Pawn at their disposal Mat to walk over When they reach their end Looking back Pain and sorrows behind success Wrinkles of faking Bodyaches of fulfilling other people's needs Regrets after all their precious time is gone They will be too old To do anything Just waiting That day to come to pass Understandably We need work To put food on the table Sustain decent lifestyle To get by Do what it is necessary Have some time Investing into yourself and loved one You are worth To live the life For yourself Go and do something...
