ARE YOU AWARE?

                            
Are you aware that everything is speeding up,
And that you're chasing time just to keep up with this pace?
Does this make you feel good?
Does living at such a high tempo and missing the details exhaust you?

Are you aware that in the mirror you look at every day, there is not just you...
That everyone else is also in that mirror...
And that every day you blame someone else...
That you are truly searching for the culprit in the outside world?

Are you aware that you are tired of trying to explain things to those around you, of shouting?
Then, when you retreat to your corner with that exhaustion...
In those moments when you quietly say, “I’m upset with everyone!”
And no one actually notices that you're upset...
Thus, they don't even try to make you feel better...
When in reality, the only person you’re upset with is yourself...
Are you aware?

Are you aware of the weight of that mask you put on to look happy...
The effort you put into truly being happy...
Your daily search for happiness in different things...
And yet, despite this, still not finding it...
Are you aware?

Because of this vain pursuit,
That you keep doing the things that lead to the same wrong results even more...
That wandering around shopping malls,
And buying new things no longer brings joy...
How much you rely on that man, that woman...
That you leave the key to your happiness in the hands of others...
Are you aware?

So, after all this...
When you start living with the truth...
When you look in the mirror again,
That the current you is not the former you,
And that even if just a little...
The light of truth is reflecting on your face...

Are you aware?
I hope you are, we are...
Because those who are truly aware,
Surpass most people.
Maybe even,
Almost everyone..
