The Blurred Frame: How long did you think you'd be in the picture?
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>How long did you think you'd be in the picture?</p><p>You thought you'd occupy that space forever?</p><p>Your relevance reduced the longer you stayed.</p><p>This realization only came the farther you trailed.</p><p><br/></p><p>They knew all you could offer,</p><p>that's why you've been sidelined like a pushover.</p><p>Not aware your time of being welcomed was counted,</p><p>and now you are left to hover.</p><p><br/></p><p>Others came with a lot on their plate,</p><p>then you became an invisible being</p><p>in the visible world you all formed.</p><p>Don't get too comfortable with anyone around,</p><p>be comfortable with those who were there through the storm.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's disheartening to go from friends to being tolerated,</p><p>because you have a task only you can do effectively.</p><p>In the absence of that task, your existence isn't valid.</p><p>You are seen as a pawn to clear the way,</p><p>so they can get to their destination with no obstacle.</p><p>Everything out there was left for you to tackle.</p><p><br/></p><p>How long did you think you were in the ship?</p><p>Happy you were when a space was given.</p><p>Unbeknownst to you, a lot was waiting for you,</p><p>enough to make you trip.</p><p>You lost yourself in order to find another.</p><p>What are friends for? Hehehe — mixed with pain and joy.</p><p>We all count our good deeds and make them seem like a favor, so terrible.</p><p>I know we all have our flaws,</p><p>but we have lost sight of the first variable.</p><p><br/></p><p>How long did you appear in the picture?</p><p>You can now see a blurry picture of yourself.</p><p>You weren't that important,</p><p>you were only there when you were relevant.</p><p>Don't be sad because it's your fault</p><p>you assumed you were in the picture.</p><p>Now you've lost sight of your position,</p><p>what is next?</p><p><br/></p><p>How long do you want to appear in this picture?</p><p>A new one, I must say.</p><p>A photograph where your face never gets blurry the longer you stay.</p><p>Therefore that picture consists of you and yourself.</p><p>Until you are friends with yourself,</p><p>you can't be friends with anybody,</p><p>else it'll end as a tragedy.</p>
