Life is all about
living in compartments
that we create
or inherit
or buy
in return
for money, success and fame.
We choose barracks
to hide
and conceal
needless fears
and insecurities
that we carry
for no logical reason.
One fine day
we pack up
and leave
waking up
to the realization
of all that we missed
by not connecting.

Very true. We need to open our minds to fully understand “our world” and “the world”. Nicely done, Reena.

Yes, just sad to me that so many of us tend to live our whole lives not truly connecting with others and also working to obtain so many senseless and perishable objects we surround ourselves with to fill the void. What you wrote was just written very well and made me think about it and gave me feelings from it. xoxo Ash

Not exactly sad. Just about a closed mindset.
