who am i?

who am i to decide your life?
who am i to indulge your pride?
who am i to invite the tide
to drown the condescending night?

who am i but a misread line.
who am i but a man by design.
who am i but a "keep me in mind,"
a celebrated metaphor for "please, take your time."

who am i to invest in your fate?
who am i to determine the stakes?
who am i to contribute to the waste
as an apathetic hero who arrived too late?

so who are you to give up on your dreams?
who are you to wake me up with your screams?
who are you to give two seconds to think
about anybody else but yourself and your team?
