I don't really know what this is to be honest. It started out as a rap that I was writing as a joke with some of my friends, and eventually evolved into this. I do think it still retains some of the aspects of the rap, and the change in flow is a real highlight to me. On the topic of the actual topic of the poem, I interpret it as the realisation that life is ultimately meaningless, and pushing yourself to the brink of serious damage is never the way to go about things. I also connect with this about the notion of being considered "Gifted". The pressure of everyone always expecting the best from you, and the pressure to feel you must make yourself into something great, otherwise it's a "Waste of your potential". There is quite a lot of existential dread in this. The idea that there is no "Waste" for someone's potential because everyone is lost to time, and instead humanity as a whole must not be wasted. I don't really know though, I just wanted to do a bit of rhyming again.
