Just Asking...

Have you ever felt like a waste of breath?

Like your lungs were serving a lifetime punishment for a crime they never committed

Have you ever felt like your inhale should be repossessed?

Like someone else deserved it triple times more than you do

Have you ever had the fear of being normal?

Of just being the ordinary name people sing when you walk past their gazes

Have you ever looked at the mirror?

And can you beat your chest in pride at your reflection?

Not because of the beauty that it carries

But because of the strides its little hands has accomplished

Have you ever looked at your basket of excuses?

Which of them has ever being worth it?

Have you ever starred at your online profile?

Can it get you a job, how good is your portfolio?

Have you ever gazed at your skin?

Do you see delicate or folds of wrinkles soon to come?

Have you ever looked at your birth certificate?

How much time do you have left?

Time is a remote with only one functioning key; Fast-forward

One minute you’re born

And next you watch your heart walk away right before your eyes

One minute you’re given

And next you’re in the position of giving

Are you fooling time by striving hard?

Or is time fooling you by switching on the regulator to 5?

Just asking…
