Wakeing up
Upon this road
that I now walk
this road
of doubt and fear
I face
what is
becoming clear
that I have
become
stagnant
like a hamster
on its wheel
in a cage
running
from thoughts
that invade
the reality shows
that I live by
every day
and the pain
that I feel
when I watch
my child
learning to run
on the wheel
so I walk
this road
of doubt and fear
screaming
in rage and shame
why
all those years
why
did I stay
on a wheel
in a cage
that I now walk
this road
of doubt and fear
I face
what is
becoming clear
that I have
become
stagnant
like a hamster
on its wheel
in a cage
running
from thoughts
that invade
the reality shows
that I live by
every day
and the pain
that I feel
when I watch
my child
learning to run
on the wheel
so I walk
this road
of doubt and fear
screaming
in rage and shame
why
all those years
why
did I stay
on a wheel
in a cage
