Time

 

 

Running out of time

Ignorance is my only crime

Making life-altering decisions based on emotion

Believing that the one way out is the right notion

Deep emotion turned to embarrassment

If I live can I ever overcome the resentment?

Voices frantically calling out my name

Knuckles down my chest but all is the same

 Shouldn’t he be crawling up the wall?

Nothing has moved, nothing at all

The future has slipped out of my control

Laying still playing my very best role

Shift rooms for more space

Put that out it can blow up in our face

Fears morph into explosive tears

Thinking of potential wasted years

Many things swiftly come together and praised

There must have be a reason this one was saved
