Life on Standby

Can one repress
for 15 years
and still remember?

Can one pretend
for 15 years
and still know truth?

Can one live chaos
for 15 years
and still find peace?

Can one keep running
for 15 years
and still know rest?

Can one deny
for 15 years
and still desire?

Can one suppress
for 15 years
and not explode?

Can one be scared
for 15 years
and not retreat?

Can one go out
for 15 years
and still know home?

Can one do time
for 15 years
and still know freedom?

Can one put life
on hold for years
and still be living?
