I feel lost… Yes I do.
Wading through the masses
Who’ve their eyes open
Yet walk like the blind.
They cajole and threaten me.
They want me to join them.
On my side, there is integrity.
On theirs, the brute majority.
Hallowed by hollow promises
They want my blood and tears
To throw me incentives that
Reek of terrible memories.
The glory I seek is different.
The path I walk is separate.
How can I join them
When my conviction is their cliche?

My apologies in advance for commenting in verses. I am not very concise when I comment in prose.

Rise up, fight back, take back what's yours.
No one will give you those in 'bheek'.
The dreams, the path the glory that's yours,
The satisfaction of living the life you seek.
Don't wait for someone to come there,
For no knight in shinning armor is coming.
There are knights, nowhere... Na! Na!
Don't believe what the fairy tales are saying.
Don't let them convince you otherwise,
Don't give in to their coaxing.
Their promises are just a disguise,
for the sacrifices that they're seeking.
Rise up, fight back, take back what's yours.
There is no point in complaining.
Do it for your self, your heart, your soul.
Rise up and take the glory you're seeking.
