Living In a Hostel

Battery hens
Caged in and made to try and fit in
Give us a break
Freedom is scarce

The world aghast
Nothing but routine, disordered order and disappointment 

Imagine rain clouds moving past
Pretty for outsiders 
But inside is dark, full of woe

Normal is not normal
Life, unimaginable by workaholics and city goers

Carry on with your day
Amidst the pain
Find joy
Amongst the sorrow and disorientation 

Stay in tact
Let go, but moving on is unnecessary

Going not moving...in tact in fact!
