Am I really privileged?

I’m doubting myself again

Questioning everything I do

I’m losing myself again

Now it seems nothing flows perfectly asides the tears from my eyes

Stuck in my imaginations picturing an Angel in disguise

Too young to realize?

That’s not me

I grew up way too fast

I will not be categorized into a sub category of privilege

Because my idea of privilege is different from your idea of privilege

Privilege to me is when you were a child you would wake up in the morning and you go down for breakfast then your mum and dad are seated at the table

Then you go ahead to discuss with them

So easy

Yes that’s privilege

Do you know what else privilege to me is?

To feel so normal

That nothing interrupts your day to day life

Privilege is when you don’t even have to strive to survive

Privilege is to feel alive

Because some of us are dead

some of us of lost

Some of us are a living coma

Some of us just exist

Some of us live in our heads

And you that live and have control over your minds are the real privileged

“I choose what I put my mind to”

“I will not be focusing on that today”

That is privilege

The ability to choose

The ability to control

To navigate

To understand

Some of understand

But some of us can’t fix it
