A whole year older.
Wise enough though?
Enough, as a measure?
Let's weigh in then.
A bit more numb to pain,
Avoidant of the misery,
Accepting of the void,
For everyone else, disdain.
Living the death,
Death of a feeling or few,
Maybe a few people,
Of my own soul too?
Little by little,
Let's weigh in then,
Let's measure.
Wiser or just experienced?
Brighter or just flipping the switch?
Laughing or hiding in plain sight?
Measure it all!
How much is enough?
Happier than before ?
Busier than before?
Time flies or withers for you?
Let's measure it all!
This life is a measure ,
Of time lived,
Spent in misery,
Whiled away in laziness,
Celebrated in growth,
Observed from afar.
How much was enough ?
What was the measure?
Was it enough though ?
