Held Down
March 18, 2011
Water flowing rapidly
Days slowly changing
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
Chained by rules
No memory of who I am or where I am
No reflection left of me
Suppressed by my dreams
Family flocking like herds of animals
Cats fleeing like refugees fleeing
The country
Promises erased by the lies of the world
No feeling left in me
In the distance is the sweet smell of success
