The Sheep and the Crowd

When realities of life come to haunt you,
making you realize that you have fallen short of everything.

When dreams start to seem unreal,
and the only thing that comes to matter is survival.

You can literally see yourself getting sucked in the vicious circle,
the circle of sheep and crowd, which you once hated to your gut,
as it is the only escape out of your desperate situation.

That’s when you actually start turning into an adult.

That’s when you start respecting the grown ups knowing they are not all about strength and independence,
they are not all about smiling faces but they are also children with shattered dreams,
who decided to flock in when the crisis couldn’t be contained.
