There’s no depth
Within a man
When his only thought
Is someone else’s
I can’t find
My individual
There’s no happiness
With a man
When his only laugh
Is someone else’s
Where did the humor go?
I can’t see
The individuality
Of a sheep
I can’t perceive
The thought
Of not thinking
There’s no charm
In a life
That’s lived only
For some one else
I can’t find
My creative thinker
There’s no freedom
In a word
When all words
Are defined by authority
By whose authority
Do you live?
I can’t be
The real me
When you see
That I’m not you
I could never be you
The real you
Because you don’t exist
And your self-pity
A river rode by the weak
Time goes by so slowly
When you’re the lonely
Aren’t you afraid?
Soon your walls will crash
And you’ll be threatened
By your own reality
Aren’t you afraid?
That everyone
Will be you
Someday
Aren’t you afraid?
That you are everyone
Today
Depthless
Weightless
Thoughtless
Lifeless
What is life without meaning?
