In the pace of the world

Where nothing stops for you

Sometimes one gets caught up

In the whirlwind of impulse and vigour

One may want a simple peace

In which life could settle

To a pace sombre

Simple

But what if one got lost

In their inner peace

That instead of finding calm

Living in a state of bliss

They stopped continuing

Their ongoing path of life

Halted

Like stirring from a pleasant dream

The world has changed

Allies grown different, mature

You find yourself trailing

Lost and subsiding

No one to blame but yourself

Failing

Fallen behind the curtain

While everyone is on stage

You have forgotten all your lines

Forgotten how to endure the crowds

I have forgotten simply

How to live
