Comatose
Life’s biggest discrepancy
Paralyzed in endless slumber
Whilst friends and family hover above
Unheard, hoping by some miracle to be heard
By the victim
The one losing precious moments
By the lucky one
The one who gets a break from life’s many toils
Skips a chapter of age
Becomes the elder without becoming the wiser
And is looked up to with respect
Respect not of the experience gained
But respect of the discrepancy
The unusual is always the most desired
The one held in highest and lowest esteem
Secretly envied by all
If one did not fear losing time
Death
Perhaps one should consider incapacitation
And life would be all the better
