I have my plans!
What plans I ask
My plans,
I know how I’ll do it
You will see
You will all see
All you “doubtsee’s”!
I will show you
But I don’t doubt you
If anything I believe
you
I’m only here due to
concerns
Concerns I harbour for
you
I worry you sleep too
much,
You really leave the
house
And these plans you
say you have,
When exactly do they
take effect?
Oh! There it is Mister!
What? What is it I’ve
done?
The condescending tone you taking with me
The I’m not good enough attitude you are implying
I’ve heard it all before
Society
My parents
Even my former friends use it
I just placed you above the rest
Why?
Coz I thought you were different
I
thought you saw my plans
And you knew I am headed to greatness
I believe you alright
I just think it’s time
you set things straight
You have plans
Plans for greatness
plans for life
Plans for everything
except
Plans to make your
plans work
It is beautiful in
your mind
The future you’ve designed
But I can only imagine
And so can the rest
The society
Your parents
And your friends and
former friends
They don’t believe
your utopia
Do you believe my dreams?
I do, I did, now I
want to
They are just bones
with no flesh
And I can’t feed odd
those
All you do is complain
All you do is have
disdain
For people that guide
and mentor you
You are becoming a
pain
To everyone including yourself
You are eroding away
And rotting with each
second you feel abused
Feel oppressed
Feel despised
You are creating a
shield
Blocking the important
advice you get
And leaving your
talents and gifts unspent
You are singing the
same song each day
Of finding a way
Yet you lack the simplest
of wills to wake
You think you are
broken
Seeking for sympathy
from all that have spoken
You didn’t even crack
let alone break
You are the crop of
modern day youth
Who sing of freedom,
Who embrace an unexacting
oneness,
Preaching autonomy yet
shrouded in dependency.
You are the worst kind
of failure
The one that never
started
You lost simply
because you never fought
Do you abuse me?
Coz I could tell you I’ve done my part
I dressed up and sent the letters out
I applied even when I felt I shouldn’t
I am not the fool you think I am
What are you?
I am a misunderstood youth
Unemployed,
Worried,
And with nothing but sleep as solace
Are you satisfied with
that life?
Hardly,
But I make do
I know soon the sun will shine
Soon my time will come
And I will make hay
How do you suppose you
will do that?
My plans!
I have plans,
I know how I’ll do it
You will see
You will all see
All you “doubtsee’s”!
I will show you
…
but a life planned is a closed life my friend,it can be endured perhaps,it cannot be lived.
ReplyDeleteI see it as a life planned is a life envisaged yet living the plan is the true freedom.

ReplyDeleteit then starts with you.the plan has to be for you.do it for you.not just to prove others wrong. You are the priority in your life.
ReplyDeleteIts actually a representation of others not self...but I believe it works the same.
