LIFE

Life as a thing is not as mysterious as those who tend to live it

Sigh.

I am so tired of my life. Everything is so confusing, nothing makes sense.

I work for the deadlines, I study because I fear,

That if I don’t, I will be left behind, I will not survive

I am afraid that if I don’t participate in what everyone is doing,

I will not be able to survive,

I want to gain knowledge, not pass exams,

There is a difference between the two

As there is a difference between respect and fear

Who am I to challenge the system?

They say it has produced great people, and will continue to do so

We made it. It’s legal

Who are you?

I am just a guy who is surviving it.

But at the end of the day

When I look back to see where I have come, and where I want to go

I question myself

How did I survive?

What has the system done to me?

Chiseled to perform tasks, but to excel in none,
