Basic


All my life I've been so basic.

Always living by the rules.

Never break away from standard.

People said that I was good.

I am 21 right now and can tell you nothing's changed.

Life is a routine for me; all you get is what you see

Work, then gym, and then the books

Who can say what I will do?

That's rhetorical, hope you know it.

Life's predictable, every moment.

Spontaneity I lack.

Someone tell me a life hack.

Just the fact I wrote this poem

Shows there are words still unspoken. 

Speak them for me 'cause I can't.

Out of time... damn I'm late.
