I was a child but it was adulthood I wanted
The freedom that came with respect
I was 20 but it was the 30s I wanted
To be deemed mature and so sophisticated
I was middle aged but it was the 20s I wanted
They vibrance of youth and the free spirit
I was retired but it was the middle age I wanted
The presence of a mind without limitations
Pretty soon my life was almost over
But I never got what I wanted

I don’t know at times
What really hurts me
Or where it does either
Whether it’s the scars of my past
Or the existence of the present
If it’s the people who left me
Or those who are willing to leave
Whatever it is …., It hurts
There goes my mind… again
Trying to balance my thoughts on a tightrope
Too bad I’m as clumsy as they get
I create solutions for problems
That have no chance of existing
And see the future in a false reality
I play tag of war with my insecurities
While ignoring all positive thoughts
Sometimes I lack the strength
To fully believe in my own self
Why does my mind play tricks on me?
I know I am great
Or am I?
The Way 🇰🇪
