(high hopes)

A Poem by tanveer

"What is the point in me being who I am?

If you are wise but leave the wisdom to us.

If you are enlightened but do nothing with it.

If you did not stop the world rotating for you.

If you did not pass time in slo-mo and HD.

If you did not achieve to be generous.

If you did not love enough to become hate.

If you loved and lost and so win.

If you did not create to never be destroyed.

If you did not stir from your dream to sleep.

If you never took pleasure from the act of pleasure.

If your honesty is ever ever silence.

If your justice is so undivided as to be blind.

If you are not better than the best of us.

If your potential is never proved, existing only in belief.

If you are just like the rest of us.

If your presence is never known, felt only in relief.

If you never respond when asked a question.

If you leave every decision to be made for us.

Than.

What is the point in you being who you are?"


"Maybe. That is the point."
