Me Vs the World

The world looks at me pissed. I stand in the middle, accused For not having a dream structured, A dream for which I am still in a quest They say think fast to make up for all the time I missed. For me, life started in a race But somehow ended in a maze Clouded by the misty haze. A race I would rather not participate Cause I want neither the prize nor the praise. But a 10-minute hassle-free traipse I don't want to finish first but to be the best A 10-minute walk in my own pace To enjoy the scenic view of the place, Not to chase, but to embrace Anything and everything on my way with utmost grace The thing until now I failed to recognize.
