Drowning
Surrounded by a sea of skyscrapers
The numbers are my frowning
Time takes away my breath
Every minute I am drowning
The view from up here is gorgeous
But I cannot see any beauty
All I see is an ocean of illusions
In which greed makes life draggy
Few people can realize
That a smile is nothing more than teeth
A hand-shake is nothing more than skin
And on this ocean of illusions we keep going
Because we need to feed our fears
And give birth to more problems
That should not exist.
I wish I could be stronger
I wish I could be brave
I wish I could have wings to fly away
But I am just a fish
Swimming to survive
Waiting for the moment to die. less
