Finding the life

about all things mine
about all i want ;

there is a constant battle
between being sane and becoming insane
when all around me are familar faces
trying to coax me into boarding their bus
for the journey that goes nowhere ;

yet i am asked to live the life i want
stuck in the middle of a busy highway;

i watch the people run around in circles
like a battery operated toy
with no expression
with no joy
living in denial throughout;

lacking the courage to live
the life trapped in their imagination
i find it hard to take;

people run around in circles
trying to build a life
