Break free

They are everywhere
All trapped in a loop
None able to break free
I watch and soon I too fall victim
As we all blindly look for the door
Herded like cattle for slaughter
Each of us being told its for a better future
As we are stripped of our dreams
We're groomed to be a part of a current system
Those who oppose the system are ridiculed
They are looked down on as if they are lesser
But those who hold dear to their dreams are truly free
Wanting to join I tug and pull on my chains
Thrashing about to break loose from my fear
Bound tightly I reach out and grab the key
The key to true happiness
Only to find I had it inside me the entire time
