it’s always the circumstances
someone else is at fault
you don’t have time today
and tomorrow much more to do
                                it’s too hot in the summer
                                and the winter comes too late
                                when you try you feel the hate of the mirror
                                but you still put your ego on the shelf —

                                others are willing to wait a little
                                the hate comes from within
                                for some it’s useful to run for a while
                                motion is the key to change
e-motion on the other side of the coin
puts your mind out of range
when the friends are long gone
are you still waiting for yourself?
