Wasted Time

I've wasted my time, drawing this breath.

I won't be the one that sings the songs and opens people eyes, inspiring them to their greatness.

I won't be the one that takes the nails to make a point.

I won't be the one to run into fire to try and save a life, knowing an end will fall upon me.

I won't be the one that teaches a different middle way.

I won't be the one that leads my people to unity, freedom and peace, to escape our conflicting nature.

I won't be the one that escapes this shell.

I won't be the one that extends the reach of mind and spirit, to touch the untouchable.

I won't be the one that will understand it all.

I will be the one that wasted so much time.
