Sometimes I hear myself scream,
Please! I don't wanna do it anymore
Make it stop, i am soar.
It's killing me this, 9 to 5.

Sometimes I hear myself sob,
The ones that goes unnoticed by the mob
As it leaves behind no traces,well done! Good job!
Your momentary vulnerability is hidden from the world.
Go ahead nurture a lie.
Fake a smile.
Try to shine bright.

But,
Sometimes I hear myself asking for help,
I hear myself pining for attention.
Sometimes I hear my beating feeble heart;
Longing for passion and love.

What should I do?
How long should I wait?
How long should I shrug it off again-

This feeling to run with my dreams , for my dreams and after my dreams?
Or should I listen to people , bury myself in the mundane?

"It's too risky, settle for stability"
Echoes endlessly in my brain,
These words make me numb,
Society makes dream cripple;
Even though I am scared, weary and expecting the worse;
I am brave enough to forsake this societal ripple.

Sometimes I hear myself scream,and ail;
Please! I don't wanna do it anymore
Make it stop, i am soar.
It's killing me this, 9 to 5.
I just wanna chase after my dreams
Shrugging off doubts, fears and what-ifs.
