Wasted Talent

Wasted talent is hard to keep
A feeling of importance
To take with sleep
Like one takes pills
To erase the day
Morning comes too soon
With lack of dreams
Tossing and turning
My life drags on
I try to hide
To slow down
To create a better memory
But like the tide
Time does not wait
And speeds ever faster
The next passage of
My life I fear the most
I wish I had not been
So gullible
So lost
So credulous
So quick to obey
Talent requires encouragement
Praise and appreciation
I obviously never had it
I just like most
Thought myself different
Thought myself special
But alas like everything
I will pass unnoticed
And fade away
Beyond any purpose
Worth mentioning

If to be or not to be
Is the question
Then to be and not to be
Must be the answer
