Calculate

You’re here to solve something, I can tell.

You’ve gathered your thoughts and emotions around to make yourself a shell,

Looking for guidance from the signs the seem to explain many things,

Trapped in your mind to put up a fight between heaven and hell.

When you looked around you found that you are surrounded!

You may think you’re different but your shell has something to tell,

And you may clean and you might do it everyday,

But the dirt will stay,

Even if we move it to some other place,

We’re not finding an escape!

It’s you!

You’re the one making a choice.

It’s you!

You’re the one hating the noise.

We think of new ways to live but we don’t find,

Here and now that we are alive, we’re doing fine;

I may wish to put down in words but it’s alright,

I can’t, I’ve realised!

That even in our own ways,

No matter how much we calculate,

We’re not getting anything to take.
