The Burden of My Mind

Queen sang "too much love will kill u", and sometimes I feel too many expectations will kill me too.

My life has become a struggle just trying to prove myself again and again. And due to the expectations heaped upon me, this world is making me do things I never wanted to and all my passions are left orphaned. So I guess in a few years I'll be a perfect prototype of a normal man, just another brick in the wall..

But something tells me thats not what i wanted, I’d rather be a pebble on the shore, with the waves washing over me when the tide is high, and regaining my shine when the sun is out. The cycle goes on and I start gradually dissolving into the sea in a union for eternity.

But the idea of just being as a cog in the wheel doesn’t appeal to me much, when every step I take is governed by the other cogs too as they depend on me for their movement..i feel impaired, as if someone has tied down my wings just because they don't want to fly, and they put their deepest fears in me. And here I am, a very reasonable man who hasn't done any justice to the talents he has got (said in all modesty), and I really feel as if I have let myself down in more ways than one, so I guess everyone's happy now.

I am just another brick in the wall...
