Crash drive
Enjoying the aroma and taste of warm chai,
For a moment, you relax and don't ask why.
For once, you untie the ropes of this mortal tie,
You start feeling lighter, while sorrows say goodbye.

When you look up at the bright blue sky,
You feel you can be happy and soar so high.
There is this inner urge to just run away or fly,
Anything but continuing this cycle till you die.

But just as the green trees or plants thrive,
With less water, they still breathe and strive.
Holding onto the dream of again feeling alive,
They go on, doing whatever it takes to survive.

As your dull eyes water and you start to cry,
Your heart wishes to stop living this terrible lie.
For your life is full of hope, regret, and sighs,
While this hourglass of precious time flies by.

For on this wild road, we all persevere to drive,
Tired of facing this horrid, inevitable crash-dive.
Thus, placing your emotions in a hidden archive,
Your soul finds any possible way to live and revive.
