PARALYSED
I lived a while on the planet earth
With my senses wanting just one thing
To enjoy life
And have it at the tip of my fingers
To control and have dominion
I had a peculiar way of thinking
And I really dominated my world
Life bowed to me for that period of time
I was the highest entity in my space
I gave myself the highest rank ever
I was a god in my own world
Life was going so smooth
Untill I was so drunk and lost in my self glory
But life doesn't always stay with one man
It is just a fickle entity
That changes sides every time
Life ran out of my side
And I was thrown off my own throne
By my very own work
I was demoted to less than a servant
In my own world
My high majesty became a beggar
Begging for my own sanity
I looked for ways back up
But I found none
And now all I can say is "How do I find me?"
"I miss me"
"I want me back"
"I am helpless"
So helpless i can't do anything about it
And it dawned on me that
"I am paralyzed"
