When we were young,
We measured how fast we run,
How many coins we had,
How many times we would jump rope without falling...
But the older we get,
we start measuring things that are impossible to measure.
We start to measure how much a person loves us,
How much pain we are in after you lose someone,
How much money we have in our banking accounts,
How many things we need, we want, we think we desire.
I measure, I calculate and I check over and over again.
But what's the point?
What's the point of counting the stars in the sky?
What's the point comparing yourself to someone else?
What's the point of constantly measuring?
I learnt a couple of years ago,
that planning for your future is pointless.
It's in the hands of someone more powerful.
All you can do is believe.
If only, time wasn't a measurement.
If only, I could have things my way.
If only, I could escape.
