The Reality

I just wish life was better.

I sit in silence,

reflecting on all the thoughts

of the past few days.

Rushed and tired,

I had no time for fun.

Only for work and studying.

Like a leech,

the harshness of life

drained me of my will

to remove myself.

I couldn’t escape myself.

 

Thoughts intruded, pervaded

into my unconscious mind

and pulled me from my sleep

to relentlessly torture me.

The only solace were

those few, brief snatches

of time to myself before

I had to return to my

previous, undesirable state.

 

Now, set free, I breathe deeply.

Without fear or guilt of not studying,

my mind wanders to

pleasanter items I long to pursue.
