The loop

Take off your smile
for a while
you grew accustomed to it...
Have you already forgotten the face
that quietly suffers beneath?

Take a moment to think
for a while
and question the path that you chose.
Would you have walked it again, if you could?
Or left it to vultures and crows?

Take a break, catch your breath
for a while,
get out of this torturing wheel!
Whose race are you running, again?
Is the finish line even real?

Take a step back
for a while,
and look at yourself from aside.
Who is the person in front of your eyes?
Is it someone that you recognized?

Take a chance, try a change,
and defy the programming.
Use your free will while you have it.
Break the loop, dammit!
