In a rut

Wandering around the same old places,
Seeing the people with their worn out faces,
Going about their mundane routines,
Looking so sad? Not a smile to be seen

Lost in their world of toil and despair,
No ambition in their lives, going nowhere,
How did this happen, nobody knows,
Their dreams of excitement and places to go

Ambitions and new ventures they all were so keen,
Being their best, the best that they'd been,
All that has gone now, feeling so cold,
Stuck in this rut until they get old
