Almost

Exist

So many people walk on this earth,
with purpose and determination in their eyes,
But deep down in the heart of their hearts
What they're living is a lie.
Their alarm goes off every morning at 6 a.m,
So they can walk to the job they hate,
Because they need the pay,
All time does is take away from them,
Never seeming to give.
They're always waiting for the day to come
When they finally start living.
I'm so scared that one day soon,
I'll become just like the rest.
Only walking with the crowd,
Because my dreams have been oppressed
That one day I'll look back on life
At the opportunities I've missed
And realized that I've never truly lived
All I did was exist.

Authors note:
Work hard for your dreams. Don't be afraid to be who you or who you want to be. Don't be like the rest of them and give up.
