You ask
You ask what good is this life.
Aimless days embraced with open arms,
A piece of paper decides a life's plan.
Blinders preferred, mediocrity sought,
Creativity dictated, clamping thoughts.
You ask what good is this life.
The suffocated smile and pretend to breathe,
Warriors retreat and swords are sheathed.
Social acceptance - the primary concern,
A moment's hesitation - a lifetime to yearn.
You ask what good is this life.
What good is this life?
You hide from yourself,
This question is your mask.
You feed it upon itself,
When all you do is ask.
