Lifestyle

They taught me
of the importance
of a lifestyle,
how to live
in the cubicle
inside a tube.
They taught me
to disregard
the fragrance
and innate
emotions of life,
to erase off
the passion
for what I
call freedom.

Now, I have
my lifestyle,
a celebrated
community life,
locked in safety.
A cool pool
for my bed mate,
customized toilet
for by toddlers,
accessories for
my pet dog,
dead food to relish
and a heart
made of plastic.
Don’t be envious
of my lifestyle.
I am growing.
