An Ordinary Being 2
Living today, I think I am special
I live today as though I will never die
And love as though there will be no farewell
With dry eyes, as though I will never fall ill
I face the pain of others
As though I will never be alone
I judge the rights and wrongs of others
Perhaps it is because of impatience.
Perhaps it is because I feel I must be the special one
Perhaps it is because I do not want to become like my father
Because I am more special
No, because I want to be special
Or because being unspecial feels too lonely
Maybe that is why I keep growing impatient
In truth.
It is not such a bad life, even without being grand..
Today, and yesterday too
I have lived so very busily..
