Tiny shred and lost individuality


Black eye lid,

 Worn out and tired,

 vagaries of life,

unsung defeat,

struggle to keep everything going,  

success is rare,

pain is real,  

white streak of hair,

i call it grey,

naysayers say get married and conform,

for no time is left,

how do I explain?

the biggest lie,

i abhor,

wait!

Aren't all of us living an illusion?

Get married,

 settle,

fuck,

have kids,

die slowly every second,

compromise is what make them and us good boys and girls,

labels and compromise,

the soul is not bare it all,

no false claims,

on growing thick skinned,

 human flesh and emotions,

i trip,

 nursing my wounds,

slowly, I get up,

to retrieve tiny shreds,

my lost individuality,
