Stuck in a dream

Stuck in a dream

All of us have dreams. We dream of so many things in life. However, the majority is stuck in this rat race that has taken over the world in the last few decades. This is a reminiscence of that.

sitting inside the train after finishing work i watch the people rush home just like me
like migrating birds travelling a long distance i make this daily journey from one end to another
i make this journey from one end to another to keep me distracted from all things i am missing
a loving family i left behind my happiness knew no limits sadness brushed outside with ease living a life as it should be
eager to climb up the ladder eager to prove people wrong i sacrificed happiness i traded joy for "loneliness"
with my eyes watching the exit my heart yearns out to the home i left behind while looking to rebuild my nest;
