THE EDGE OF THIS AGE

It’s not like you were blind, you just didn’t wanna see it,

It’s not like you were deaf, you just didn’t wanna hear it,

It’s not like you were mute, you just didn’t wanna say it,

It’s not like you were overwhelmed, you just didn’t wanna feel it,

It’s not like you were paralyzed, you just didn’t wanna stop it,

It’s not like you were drowning, you just didn’t wanna swim in it,

It’s not like you were powerless, you just didn’t wanna save it,

It’s not like you were scared, you just didn’t wanna face it,

It’s not like you were chained, you just didn’t wanna stand up to it,

It’s not like you were choking, you just didn’t wanna swallow it,

It’s not like you were bound, you just didn’t wanna change it,

It’s not like you were unconscious, you just didn’t wanna know it,

It’s not like you were tired, you just didn’t wanna try it,

It’s not like it was un dead, but you could have breathed life back to it.
