It suffocates me
wrecks me from the inside
and I want to hide
I need to break free!
It twists me
Until I don’t recognise myself
nor the benefit or wealth
it promised.
I am wrecked and helpless
Almost godless.
The stress levels
are high enough to scorch
my shaky nerves
and my resilient resolve.
I don’t want to be involved
and yet it’s known to be decided
I cannot run nor fight it.
