Timeline (Poetic Edition)

Timeline (Poetic Edition)

Sometimes it can feel like we are balancing on tightrope in form of our own imaginary timeline. In a world where other people's lives are at our very fingertips, it is easy to compare our journey to another person's journey. We work endlessly to feel valuable and we place our value in the milestones we have achieved or where we are on life's timeline. This poem is a poetic expression of that tireless pressure to constantly achieve.
