Everyday billions of people wake up, eat, work, sleep and repeat. 

They all wake up at 5:00 in the morning, 

and it takes 30 minutes just to stand up on my own 2 feet

They eat their healthy breakfasts ready to take on the day,

And I can only take a bite of cold toast because my exceptional delay

Some go to school, some have a job, 

but no matter what they never come to a halt,

Constantly moving, and never for a moment stop

Everyone else is running, and I can only walk 

Just one little break, from constant reminders to keep going

No you cannot nap, its finals just keep studying.  

I scrape on by with the lingering promise, 

That I am special, that I will do great things if I just got out of my pajamas. 

But it seems like everyone can climb atop of mountains,

The number of applications that are sent to Harvard are in the thousands, 

How can I ever get that glorious degree?

Does the prospect of a life spent living off the salary of a doctor sound good?

Well it does to me but more importantly it does to my parents too. 

Maybe I could have this life if I didn’t procrastinate so much or sleep too much

But first I have to stop waiting for some great to change to occur, 

To suddenly become a D1 athlete or know everything about science as such

But as long as my heart still beats in my chest marching on like a drum

I will wait patiently, longing for that day to come.
