People Spend a Lifetime

People Spend a Lifetime

people spend a lifetime
trying to catch up
or run towards
what they want to be
filled by –
a depression and anxiety
they take pictures
to picture –
who they would like to be
they see shades
but they feel –
they are in the distance
the ordinary self,
never seems
to have been a trend
the apirational hollowness however
continues to befriend
