I don't have much, when it comes to ownership Most of my earnings were invested in experiences Instead of possessions Most of my time Was spent on building a soul Instead of a collection of objects I honed my skills on creation Instead of consumption My concerns lie with personal contribution Over financial status My allegiance is to brutal honesty Opposed to comforting lies I chose the mindset of evolution Over stagnation A mantra of the status quo I have fought a life-long battle against being jaded and apathetic Instead of embracing it For the acceptance of my peers Because I chose to make a life Instead of a living and with everything I've lost a little more is gained
