Birds of prey

Birds of prey

A Poem by Lana

I always get depressed at the end of the day
It gets dark and heavy and it's the same dance
I twirl I jump and come full circle
And I can never comprehend what's so wrong
I have food on the table every night
And I can listen to any songs
Yet, I feel my heart burning so fast
Not long until my lungs collapse
And that's when I get a heart attack
My soul and fear intertwined
Until I become just a piece of trash

I cannot comprehend what the hell I want 
I'm like a Davinci Code but the writer abandoned the plot
He put down his paper and went back to his old drafts
"There is no hope in that character she's too stuck in her thoughts"
And as I lay there in my bed wondering who else will pick up the pen
I grab my on back and start to write again
People say you're the master of your own ship
But i'm starting to get sea sick again

I've always felt alone yet I've been embraced by my dad 
My mom only cares about my well-being even though she knows I crack
I'm like an old plant whos always been watered 
But never seems to grow up to become a wildflower
How do people do it, I have no idea
I seem to be stuck in the same place and not care where I end up being
Or how my life will look like in a couple of years 
My hopelessness is a mystery that nobody can understand
Because nobody knows what the hell is going on inside this brain
Probaby, nobody cares enough to get to know the real person inside this thing

I show up to work wondering when will be the time to go home again
I'm tired of feeling like life is a chore I swear I'll jump off that building again
But it's all in my head, I create scenarios to fill the holes of this fast lane
My sister tells me I create problems when there is none
I cannot stop self-brooding and complain
But what am I supposed to do? Be happy pushing buttons?
And then tell my boss I've hit all the right ones?
So she can give me a promotion?

I'm tired of all the games we have to play
I gotta go eat with all these colleagues that I disdain
I don't give a f**k that last night you got hammered with your best friend
Or that you have to pay your taxes and cook for your husband who's an accountant
And I don't give a f**k you did a great job and wanna feel important
Or that you love cakes more than croissant
The boss shows up everytime to let us know about the next tasks that she left for us
B***h can't we even eat in peace without you giving us orders?
What is she? A modern day slaveowner?
It does seem like it but if I say it out loud I'll sound like I got anger
It's not that I'm angry it's just that this makes me so dizzy
It feels like an entity threw me on earth
Out of the galaxy just to be this stupid
And analyse every single thing that is happening
I'm just a bird who doesn't prey on its victims

I feel like a preyed on animal who's evading the world

Not its predators 

There are none

Right?
