Retarded

Yes, my dear
You're right.
I look retarded at times
When i try to act afool.

But i can't help but wonder
If my brain's
Really getting retarded
Day by day.

Retarded as in slow
I take forever to realise something
And i get my spelling all mixed up
While my pronunciation isn't as clear anyway.

I think
The hectic lifestyle has taken its toll
Too many cells have died unnecessarily
Cause we don't even have time to slow down
And recognise the position we are in.

We just continue chasing
Sometimes losing our balance
And getting lost.

I wonder if all these were necessary at all.
