Inner Self

A poem about how a person will destroy who they are for the sake of remaining a part of society.

Living a lifeless dream

She awaits the opening of a door

That will set her free

From the monotonous rhythm 

Of the everyday routine,

Where she says an expected hello 

And gives a fake smile,

All while keeping her inner thoughts hidden. 

This for the sake,

Of keeping fake friends,

She slowly kills away her individuality.

The person she was 

No longer puts up resistance,

For the person she pretends to be

Is all she has left.

And quietly she folds into the mesh.
