this is horror
this is a nightmare
it aint no life
it is (only) survival
for it's not a blessing
but the meanest curse
only moments of joy
decades of suffering
i wanna leave
i don' fit here
can't find my place
among the living dead
i scratch the pavement barehand
to reach the soil
and bury myslef
Frustration, depression might derive from our inability to adapt ourselves to the existing social norms and sets of values that are ruling the culture we were born into.
Although human nature - as complex and diverse as it is - opposes such restrictions of mind and body, these norms and values frame and keep a hold on human liberty both in a physical and a psychological way. The earlier one adapts him/herself to these norms the less they will consider it a serious problem; the later one has to face the problem of assimilation to these rules the more difficult, impossible and awkward will it seem. Thus, most of us, punks, drop outs, activists teenage rebels or dreamers are pretty much exposed to this nerve-wrecking psychological problem. By good fortune(and dedicated work), we have our very own diy culture, providing us an example of a more egalitarian and livable society, that we can escape to whenever the outside world depresses us too much. We should preserve it by all means!
