Just My Time

There is always a world so different
There is always someone else’s another time
And always a something better to wanna learn
Else a someone lesser to be, to be left behind

A time... your time to create
Better as always for a bearable life
Yet of times a happenstance at stake
A lesser better... dare you dive?

Rather envious then jealous
Rather to be then to follow
Rather conscious then devious
Rather a me then be shallow

With everyone being so different as likely
Standards never shall be a unity to relate
An interest belonging to one’s certainty
Have you a life living or on display?

Yours and mine, a world so different
Someone as always shall be left behind
Not better but of balances to learn
Yet... this is just my time
