What Do I See

Sitting on my chair,by side of my window
What do I see
I see the road outside
People running here and there 
living ,building,ruining their lives
When I see these people
What do I see
I see the desperation 
To tick boxes of criterias 
To assume their happiness
When I see those boxes of these people 
What do I see
I see things which they aspire to have
When I see these boxes and these people combined
What do I see
I see them picking titles of those boxes from someone else's ticked box
When I look on my other side 
What do I see
I see a man sitting in his chair 
With his own title-borrowed boxes to tick.
