who are we?

we are not boring, but we are not enough to hold on to

we are not amazingly talented, but we are able

we are not monks, but we are not social

we dislike stereotypes, but we do want to belong

we are not watchers, but we are not doers

we are not happy, but we are not miserable

we are not defined, but we are different

we are not artists, but we are not workers

we do not believe in happy endings, but we want one anyway

we are not evolving, and yet we are not still

we are lost, but we are not disoriented

we are not searching, but we are seaking

we are not ‘high’, but we are not on the ground

we are not asleep, yet we are not conscious

conscious that we only live once

and even then…

we are not wasting time, but we keep waiting

waiting for him, for her, for it, for a solution, for something to change, without knowing that change comes from within 

we are not those people, but we sure are not  these people as well

we are not musicians, but we recognize good music

we are not poets, but we do keep writing

or trying to write!

who are we?

we are not an overnight project (مشروع ليلة)

we are a never ending project!
