Inner Prison

Come and teach me the perfect balance.
How to achieve the life I need to survive.
Learn to see all the things around me,
to hear through all the noise and
listen to the things that matter.
If I could know how to see within myself,
I could rid myself from my nuisances.
But how could I learn when there's
nobody around to teach me.
When everyone is too preoccupied with themselves.
And nobody's released from their inner prison.
How can we ever lead a better life
when there's always someone around
to drag us down.
