Restless Lives Poem by Pragathi Pamarthi

Restless Lives



Running and running
Tired and tired.
Shortness of breath,
Shortness of time.
Bruised and bleeding,
Alone and grieving.
Stuck in memories,
Kick starting things.
Tired of looking,
At the tired faces.
It is getting over,
The hired happiness.
It's like a fossil fuel
these days.
Hard to get,
Easy to find.
Because there's,
There's nothing
To pay it.
To pay for joy,
To pay for trust,
To pay pay for promise,
To pay for love.
Lend us, coz'
We're tired of living
Our same old
Restless lives!
