Simplicity
Snooze the alarm,
Brew the coffee,
Wash away the nights' marks
Dress your face
Take away your body's freedom
And begin your day
Walk the same steps
Push the same pencils
Drink the same coffee
Continue the same day
Clock tells you to go home
Traffic tells you to leave earlier next time
Stomach tells you prepare dinner
Nature tells you it's the end of day
Give back your body's freedom
Undress your face
Wash away the day's marks
Brew the day's events through your mind
Set the alarm
Never stop to see the world
Never stop to smell the coffee
Never stop to experience your freedom
Never stop to stray from simplicity
Never living life
