Constant

Constant
(written when i felt so out of place at the workplace)

So the stillness lives on
The slum I live
The constant I represent

What do I see on the reading of my future?
Nothing compared to yours
For you live in a magic castle
Where richness is a universal given

It's astounding
How worlds can exist
Within inches

I have come accross
People who live
Life to the fullest.. to the fullest

Why can't I be them
I eat the same way they do
Breathe the same way they do
Perceive the world the same way they do
Think the same way they do

Or maybe not
For I eat to indulge me
Not to hate my body later
I breathe to suffer
Because breath is such a burden for my asthmatic lungs
The world is a complex design
Where simpletons like me may just stare in wonder
And my thoughts...
Too depressive to even dwell on

So the stillness moves on
Consuming my frail body
I dare not look at my future.
