Pressure

Pressure

A Poem by Arlen

So many voices but do we really hear it
Can't follow the heart maybe because we fear it
Not having the strength and afraid of their reaction
Not having the heart, you'd rather have their satisfaction
Follow the soul, you know that's what you have to do
Believe in it, you know in your heart that its true
A society where you don't feel you have a place
A spiritual mind you know they cannot face
All along people have guided your way
Change is coming when you find the courage one day
A life where a mind is not lead to be free
Fame is programmed to be more important than our spirituality
Trained since birth to follow a certain direction
Its time, move on and start your defection
Always pleasing that so called friend
Praying that this nightmare would just end
One by one they come to tell you where to follow
Not knowing you got a brain instead they assume its hollow
In the end it comes down to following the heart
A new beginning just like pushing restart
