What have I done with my life?
The answer is nothing so far
And why is that so?
Because all this while I thought I could survive
Until reality struck me, like lightening
And left its scar
Ignorant to the truth
Of not knowing anything
Never bothered to learn
Always felt there were better things
Now I realize, how wrong I was
A little extra knowledge is all I want
Just a little talent which I can flaunt
Don’t want to be the inferior one
Freak who is ignorant to the outside world
Now I aspire to be someone instead of a no-one
To fit in with all those talented people under the sun
Want to catch the train
That takes me from average and better to the best
Where I can do something for which
I’ll be remembered by everyone even after my death
But I guess I am too late
Missed that train for my ignorance
Who ever said ignorance was bliss
Must have been gifted handfuls by fate
Look where I am now
No talent no creativity
Just me and my inferiority
When everyone else was boarding the train to be somebody
I preferred to be away from reality
Let my mind wander away in the serenity
Not bothering what that will make me
Or where that will take me
Prepared a future full of insecurity
And now, here I am regretting,
Regretting every move I ever made
Created a past full of darkness
Empty and hollow
Nothing to generate encouragement
Giving away my proof of laziness
And all this thanks to my Ignorance!
