Mentally Murdered

Your aspirations, unable to stretch,
 Beyond the barriers of what's expected,
 As the free thought you were born with
 Becomes externally polluted.
 Lose sight of your ideals
 In their brainwashing institutions,
 Predetermine your values
 To befit your substandard existence...
 Discouraging creativity,
 To aim for empty ambitions.
 Living up to others expectations.
 Takes hold of your assiduity.
 Mentally murdered!
 Always up to the mark,
 Set the wheels in motion,
 A fake sense of security
 From your invariable position.
 Sinking in the crowd,
 A face minus expression.
 A mouth that echoes words,
 Recycled from tradition.
 Your only contentness
 Is in living a lie.
 Mentally murdered!
 Do you possess the strength
 To re-create your own life?
