"Rigor Samsa"
A mysterious psychological exoskeleton,
Secretly trying to give you protection,
To shield you from pressure and pain,
Calming the soul in the trance of sane,
An emotional structure made aline.
Held by a strong and flexible spine,
To conquer the thoughts of stress,
Built mightier than a hidden fortress,
This ghost inside an empty shell,
Hides a person I used to know well,
Thousands of masks you try to sell,
Behind a smile is a story you'll never tell,
Pressure turns stones into diamonds and jubilees,
Pressure from society turned people into dead bodies,
The world will try to shatter you with pain,
A stronger shell will grow back again and again,
There's a difference between being lonely and alone,
In order to grow you must leave your comfort zone,
The façade of rigor samsa made you see,
That forgiving yourself is the way to be free.
