The Hamster in the Wheel

As the spinning wheel comes to its halt

It slows down

And the dust of illusion

Spread around it settles down

Clarifying the truth

The truth of my identity

When I introspect

Rotating dead slow in the same wheel

While I was mad in its pursuit

Ignorant enough never to take a break

I See life becoming stand still

Breaking its motion

Struck motionless in the awe

The truth is revealed.

The beauty of the silence

The rhythm of my heartbeat

No matter the edges crossed over

No matter the circumference covered

Just like my achievements don't matter

Just like the opinions of others doesn't matter

At least not anymore

Just like my hardships didn't flicker

The flame of my burning spirit

Which is now but a clam and soothing guiding light

I rebel to follow no praise

I rebel to measure myself with no scales of society..

I follow me.

And I am no longer a hamster in the wheel
