It's a fucking rat race in Auckland City.

get ahead

make a break for it

and run,

run like you're scared of

getting left behind

try and press rewind

but all those years have

left you now

what were you chasing?

the dreams of another generation?

a higher education?

educate yourself.

with that first breath of

fresh air

when you step outside in the morning

learn the lessons

of your own tongue

as it tastes the entire world

do not apologise

for not knowing something

but instead

thank yourself for your ability

to learn

and to grow

and to go

even if you go in circles

just make sure you go

in the direction that you

choose
