You know
You know I've been busy these days
You know wchich are my time-consuming activities
you know that I don't watch Netflix and memes every day after school with anything else to work on
because you know that I'm capable of doing more than that
You know I sleep five hours at night
-and two more during classes-
You know that our school tuition is equivalent to a year's worth of groceries
and that all the investment ends up in a piece of paper
You know how much I love to bake
but you also know that I couldn't make my grandma's birthday cake
because I had an exam on monday!
But of course, that's more important
You've been taught that a human's purpose is to reach happiness
But how can I even approach it if I'm restricted to do what I like to do?
What they don't teach us is to prioritize our actions
To differ what is truly important from what is irrelevant
You know that I want to change the world
and that everybody's totally capable of
But if taking it for granted becomes your pursue
you'll realize that who makes the step is you
