• The System

    Convince yourself there’s nothing wrong,
    Fake a smile and
    Move along.

    Risk-taking, people-saving life machine,
    Yes, It’s who I’ve
    Always been.

    No walls holding me in, I’m free,
    I can go as far as my eyes
    Can see.

    But my aching irises burn,
    They give me pills
    I toss and turn.

    Soon enough I realise,
    All I ever wanted
    Was in front of these
    Eyes.
