Whenever people say
to a person succeeding
in what they wanted that
they are born for that
—I reflect back to all
my failures and all
the dreams I didn't fulfill
and ask the question
nobody could answer
—what was I born to be?

Whenever I see the
unreachable heights
get reached by people
who got there first
and people say they
are born for the spotlight
and adoration
—I chip away my mask
as I ask the question
even I couldn't answer
—what was I born to be?

From the depths of my soul
and the echoes of a past long gone
whenever people remember
remarkable figures like
they are born for
what they died for
—I crawl away from the
endless surge of doubts
and questions that destiny
wouldn't answer and
realize that as the world
around me has everything
figured out
—I don't know—
what was I born to be?
