Car horns

Bustling voices

Leaves scrapping the ground

Laughing

Joyous noises

From the Earth of which I am bound

I find joy in every breath

Every moment a miracle

I know not even death

Can stop this grand Ferris wheel

I see my blessings

So endless and beautiful

Made of efforts not my own

I swim in riches

Money, friends, health

As I fidget on my throne

Destiny is laid out for me

A life of boundless dreams

The thought of it all unfolding

Makes me want to scream

I’ll grow up in legacy

Bejeweled and worshipped

Seeing life through a lense

Naive

And selfish

Of the state the world is in

Beyond my blessings I have my own dreams

I wake up each night screaming of them

I want to strip my life of everything

And burn down this whole damn kingdom

We’re corrupted and evil

I know myself as such

Bleeding from the inside out

I see those outside

Hungry and yearning

Keeling over in mournful bouts

I am not blind, I see life for what it is

I want to run and scream and shout

I happily share my fortune with my family

As I yearn for a way out
