Understudy

At times I feel,

no,

I need to

rephrase that.

Sometimes

I know

that I have been

the

Understudy of my own life.

I've sat in the passenger seat.

Hell,

I've even willingly taken a back seat.

But why?

I've spent a lot of time

and

money

trying to figure that out.

ANd I have some answers...

I mean

some of it

is absolute textbook

behaviour.

But it doesn't absolve me from still asking the question why?

Do you do it?

Do you sit in the passenger seat?

Or even willingly offer to take the back set?

Do you look up at the sun shining through the 'panoramic sun top roof'

sit there,

just letting someone else steer the wheel?

WTF, why?

I have.

But,

I won't do it again.

Well, says me at this confident moment.

Don't be the Understudy in your own life.

I say this to you

but

to me at the same time.
