the plague of modern age
we're feeding it, yet
we're the tigers in the cage
so stubbornly opposed
to setting ourselves free
we'd rather sulk, regret
plan, doubt, and do all
else but simply be
it's all another’s fault
we scream, if not for them
we would have happy lives
now we’re condemned
we think that life is, was
and always will be hellish
view those who disagree
with dread as vain and selfish
heavy, congested sighs escape our throats
a nasty, paralyzing feeling makes us choke
our faces are epitomes of fear and worry
worry, worry is all that others hear
stop
just stop and breathe
realize already that this isn't the way to live
if you would not stand on the side of good and enjoy life
please, in all honesty, ask yourself why
