one day I woke up with a hole in my eye,
that was the day I snapped out of the ..
Illusion.
Threatened with the loss of sight,
twas the moment I sent my soul for ..
Rehabilitation.
My school of thoughts underwent an overhaul,
underneath all those suffocating mental shackles..
Imprisonment.
Love was the tasting of the flesh
It made you say I love you
When all you had is none.
Happiness was earning the means
To buy more material possessions
The more you acquire, the emptier.
Career was a great stint in the ministry
of education and serving the government
gives absolute security as well as chronic depression.
if I lose my sight, then what will I be?
Just another body count in gross domestic productivity?
Rehab:redefine
Love is help, loyalty & practical support
Love is really just a verb; free of emotions
Love has no emotional tendency.
I am free.
Happiness is the ability to think!
Happiness is rescuing myself from the system
Happiness has come from redeeming my soul
I am free.
Career is taking the leap of faith
Career is not clockwork slavery on a punch card
Career has been ousted by doing the things I like.
I am free.
I am free.
