Beware of the thoughts that slave the soul
Coercing the mind and heart to believe in permanence
Early are sown the seeds that blossom into dull flowers
Throughout the garden of life with monotonous colors
Dwelling on the regurgitated thoughts, hoping for a miracle
Home detains the soul from venturing out to the right path
Looking for familiarity and completely averse to find the truth
Somewhere, the true identity fades away in silent conformity
Even death will be confused to come and visit a transformed soul
Losing the identity at birth and living a lackluster life for years
Held hostage to the boundaries of life and failed to explore
A pale shadow of the truth that was birthed now stares clueless
Gone astray, a chance of a lifetime to understand the meaning of life
Unaware, the life was driven and coerced by typical thoughts©
