TIME
Dear Friend
You have been lied to
Ever since you were a kid
You were told
To study, train & prepare
All just to be aware.
To take life by the horns
To get a dream job
Just to be adorn.
But you still struggle
To get ahead
Feels like everybody else is moving up
That’s how they are bred.
So you put in long hours
And work your way up
But the stakes keep getting higher
That’s how it is setup.
Or even worse,
When you have nothing to offer
After all the hard work
You ask yourself
What’s there to put in the coffer.
You feel yourself grasping for straws,
And bullshitting your way
Through conversations,
There is no button for a pause.
How did this happen?
Where did I slack off?
With that uneasy feeling in the stomach
You want everything to cutoff.
It doesn’t have to be this way
As you are a young person today,
You have a superpower
That established people lack,
Time, my friend
Is your way back.
As time is a great equalizer
Leverage this egalitarianism
Make the best use of it
And remove all those skepticism.
We live in an imperfect world
Where you don’t have to specialized
As to be pigeonholed,
The way it is advertised.
Things might not happen immediately
Let is accrue value
For you have time, my friend
Something which most of us undervalue.
